According to my 1980 brochure, the festival that year was held from September 13- October 12th.  The dates match up for the 1975 brochure, but that year it was called the Festival of Craftsmen.  I am going to keep looking!

Thanks for the input!  It is one of my favorite finds, because of how I found.  It truly was a rescue

I am guessing so.  I was trying to determine when precisely the ax and log came into play.  I was thinkng this was 70s, but I haven't seen anything similar to it before.

I found this great poster at an estate sale.  It was still tacked to the wall in a bedroom.  I was so excited!
I am wondering if anyone has an idea of about what year it might be from?

I had wondered what that building was while watching my videos.  That is very cool to know, thanks for the info!

SDC Memories/ Park History / SDC Home Movies 1960's

« on: July 24, 2014, 08:24:00 PM »

I have uploaded a couple of home movie clips to youtube and wanted to share them.  This first clip I think is about 1963 or 64, based on how old my dad looks in the video.  The second clip is a couple of years later.  Let me know if these links don't work!

Yes.  I have listened to it! The sounds of music upon entering the park was always one of my favorite things.   I absolutely loved stopping to listen and dance a little jig as soon as I got to the city.  I remember musicians sitting and playing on a little platform just before entering the hopitality house.  That was always the perfect start to the day for me. There definitely isn't as much of that anymore.  Especially enjoyable is the flooded mine song on the album!
My husband gave me another album for my birthday a few weeks ago.   Umy and the Goodtimers Play Silver Dollar City.  It was a good listen as well.

Hello, I am new to the forum and so glad to find a place for Silver Dollar City fans!  I have lived my whole life here in the Ozarks and some of my favorite memories are from trips to SDC.  I am building a collection of vintage SDC souvenirs and ephemera, it is so much fun searching for it.  Some of the things in my collection are from father's trips as a child.  I am including some pictures from my collection.
I have just started looking around, but I am seeing some great stuff on here. I am so excited to learn more about the history of one of my favorite places!


My first trip to Silver Dollar City! I obviously was too young to remember this trip, but it is one of my favorite photos.






One of my dad's admission tickets.














I found this tucked inside of my grandfather's Brownie movie camera box. 








This was my dad's packet of Viewmaster reels.  One of my absolute favorites, which helped to start my huge Viewmaster collection.
