Fall Little Niangua Mountain Man Festival |
Spring - April 10th thru 13th, 2014
Fall - September 11th thru 14th, 2014 |
 |
Mountain men and traders capture the days of the 1840's as they dress in their 19th century attire and live in genuine tee-pees and canvas tents during the rendezvous.
You can experience a segment of living American history at its very best as these mountain men compete in black powder shoots, tomahawk and knife throwing contests, fire starting and tall tale telling. You can shop Trader's Row for unique hand-crafted gifts, folk art and artifacts from the past. There is always an array of artisans, story tellers, gunsmiths, re-enactors and blacksmiths to guide you through a journey back in time. You will experience the sights and sounds of a real frontier rendezvous, the smell of campfires and the enchantment of walking in the footsteps of early pioneers.
A lifetime of history is captured in this three day event! |
