THE FARM
The festival grounds is a 65-acre farm nestled in the beautiful Buffalo Valley. Farmhouse Gallery & Gardens features a traditional blacksmith shop, lily pond and creek, peacocks strutting their stuff and even a herd of 14 live buffalo. The farm also has walking trails along the creek and around the perimeter of the buffalo enclosure, along with plenty of places to spread out under a shade tree!
And don't forget to take a trip up the hill to see the buffalo, especially the head of the herd. Sammy Fathead, the lead male, is 2,500-3,000 lbs. of pure love. He'll even eat apples straight out of your hand and may even give you a smile afterward!

NATIVE AMERICAN VILLAGE
Take a tour through history and see how the Cherokee lived off the Beautiful Buffalo Valley. The village features a traditional Cherokee longhouse, animal hides, fire pit and corn grinding stump.
