I should add, that Silver Dollar City is constantly ranked as one of top theme parks in the country and rivals the Disney parks in its cleanliness and people services. You will find traditional music in the park, though less than in the past and there are two major festivals, one featuring American music and another featuring world music , crafts, and foods. Everything Silver Dollar City does is done well. Many traditional musicians in this area love to work at the music festivals.

Another thing, which grew up around Branson, in part due to Silver Dollar City is the handcraft industry. Branson has attracted many superb craft folks.
