Folk Music at the Fort

Step inside the historic Fort Buford barracks for an afternoon of music, movement, and merriment inspired by the 19th century. This folk music program will feature period-appropriate tunes familiar to soldiers, families, and visitors on the frontier. Between musical sets, participants will be guided through simple, easy-to-learn social dances, offering a glimpse into how music and dance helped build community, relieve stress, and bring people together at frontier posts. No prior musical or dance experience is necessary.

This event is part of the ND250 commemoration celebrating our country’s 250th birthday.
