Name: North Mississippi Dulcimers Performance
Location: National Park Event Location

<p>Did you know that the dulcimer is generally considered the only musical instrument known to be entirely invented in the United States? Originally created somewhere in Appalachia (opinions differ), part of the dulcimer's appeal is the relative simplicity in playing it. Learn more-and maybe try your hand at some pickin' and playin'- when you join us at the Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center at milepost 266 for a performance featuring the North Mississippi Dulcimers.</p>

Several people sit down while playing dulcimers.

The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile recreational road and scenic drive through three states. It roughly follows the "Old Natchez Trace," a historic travel corridor used by American Indians, "Kaintucks," European settlers, slave traders, soldiers, and future presidents. Today, people can enjoy a scenic drive as well as hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping along the Parkway.
