Interesting place. See things being made and created by Craftsman. Really enjoyed watching a lady making copper items with flame to add color, she explained each process. Also watched a man making pottery pie plates and bowls, his finished works are beautiful.

The Folk Center craftmen were located in air conditioned buildings, one craft per building. Very friendly and happy to answer questions. Outdoor musical entertainment was very enjoyable, as 4 youth played string instruments and sung folk music. We had lunch at the restaurant, and the food was delicious! All of the area was clean throughout the areas for visitors, and the well maintained flowers were lovely. The items were for sale directly from the craftsmen as well as from the Folk Center store. The tram provided free transportation up the long uphill climb from the parking area.

This place is SO COOL. It's like a silver dollar city but without the rollercoasters...and way cooler because it is REAL trades selling their work. Seriously cool. Stay at their cabins, too. They are old, but definitely peaceful and really neat. They back up to the forest so if you get the right cabin you have quite a bit of privacy.

Cabins were nice and clean with lots of amenities.Very friendly and helpful staff. The food from the buffet was delicious, and there were always a couple of choices for the main entree. The auditorium was nice and cool and the music was fun and lively! Will definitely return!
