Spring 75th Anniversary Activities

April’s Music of the Mountains   Sounds of a banjo and fiddle playing in unison echo through the history of the Smoky mountains.  In April, you can experience the sweetness and liveliness of traditional mountain music and bluegrass at Buckhorn on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. 

May—The Past Becomes Present  Local historians, naturalists and storytellers engage guests in conversations about the cultural, historical and environmental history of the Great Smoky Mountains and the present and future challenges that face this area.  Discussions will be between 5:30 and 7:00 pm on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in May. 

May 18  Happy Birthday, Buckhorn Inn!  This birthday dinner is inspired by the 1950s and ’60s when the outdoor patio and barbeque became a staple of American life.  Staff will dress in tee shirts and summer shorts, so please feel free to dress casually.   Still have a pair of peddlepushers?  A live band will play as you enjoy BBQ beef and pork, hamburgers, hotdogs, birthday cake and all the trimmings. Wine and beer will be available. $35 per person 

Buckhorn Memories Welcome  Guests are invited to write about  Buckhorn for a collection we plan to publish at the end of the year. Complete a Memory Card when you are a guest this year or you can send an email to [email protected].  We really want to hear from you!  Each month we will randomly select a memory from those submitted and award a prize—dinner for two.  At the end of the year, we will select a grand prize winner, awarding a complimentary two-night stay at Buckhorn.
