About

The music style involves plucking strings to create music perfectly fit for close harmonies. Music was just a part of life during that time. The traditions were passed down from generation to generation.

That is continuing today thanks to groups like the Farm Use Old Time String Band. The seven piece band plays old time music and offers contra dance lessons a half an hour before the show. It is a fun night of entertainment laced with a history lesson of music and dance styles. 

Benchmark Community Bank is proud to sponsor the inaugural season for Routes of Rhythm Music Trail by Virginia State Parks.
