The "Snorty Horse Band" describes themselves as a quartet that performs authentic and driving Ozark Music. "The music is masterfully delivered whether it be a driving square dance tune, or a soulful ballad learned in the Ozark Mountains, and re-created using authentic Ozark instruments. Flatpicking, frailing, sawing and singing on guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and piano with tight vocal harmonies are all packed into the performance. This is the real "Mountain Music."

Shawnee Indian Mission
In the 19th century, Americans wanted more land and settlement moved west. For countless Indians, the American thrust for land meant a challenge to a traditional way of life. The Shawnee Mission was one of many missions established as a manual training school attended by boys and girls from Shawnee, Delaware, and other Indian nations from 1839 to 1862. Visit this 12-acre National Historic Landmark and learn the stories of those who lived there.
