The Old Time Medicine Show is Americana on Tour.
It’s a one-man, comedy show complete with an antique box
wagon which was originally horse-drawn down mud roads.
Meet Doc Barth and Max. They may even ask a member of
the audience to help with the show! Visit the exhibit,
stay for the show -- nothing is sold. |

You don’t even need to be at one of our four stages
to find entertainment. Period entertainers can be found
roving the grounds of both parks. Be sure to say “hello”
when you see Johnny Appleseed! |

When you hear a fife and drum corps on the move,
step to the side to listen as they go by. Then, you can
fall in step behind their parade! Each day at 2:00,
The
Gathering of the Bands in the Demonstrator Area,
showcases the pipe, fife, and drum corps. Each of the
corps will perform solo, and then they join together for
a most memorable performance of Amazing Grace. |

Many shows appear both days so you don’t have to
miss a thing! Check the Festival Guide for a schedule of
performances and map. Performances may be canceled due
to inclement weather. |
