During the Center's season (first two weekends in April; daily April 19-November 3), artisans demonstrate over 24 homestead skills and crafts in the Crafts Village, a collection of demonstration shops, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Nearby the comfortable, climate-controlled Music Theater hosts life entertainment at 7:30 p.m. six nights a week, plus Sunday Gospel Concerts during season. Music is played as it was before 1941 with acoustic instruments.
