The park holds many events throughout the year. Its Monthly Pancake Breakfast always draws a huge crowd on the first Saturday of each month. Shop in our Country Store, explore our Museum, watch the Blacksmiths do their thing, and wander among the ruins of the Shelby Iron Company, the site of what was the largest charcoal blast furnace in the Southern United States.  On the second Saturday in October, the park hosts its Annual Fall Festival, where old-time traditions such as sorghum making, blacksmithing, and Antique Sawmill demonstrations are just a few of the fun things to see.
