Signature Entertainment

The sounds of music and laughter ring through the streets of Silver Dollar City with 40 live shows daily from Silver Dollar City’s talented entertainers. If you love music and lighthearted humor, the Silver Dollar Saloon Show is a favorite tradition for all ages. Other signature Silver Dollar City entertainment includes traditional tunes from the Homestead Pickers and Down By the Riverside, showcasing the Rivertown Ramblers in Dockside Theater.

Ozarks History

Silver Dollar City is known for its impeccable 1880s-style theming, but the park is also home to many authentic 19th century structures. Located on Homestead Ridge, just off of the Silver Dollar City Square, you’ll step back in time as you explore McHaffie’s Homestead, The Wilderness Church and the Oak Trail School, all structures built right here in the Ozarks in the 1800s that have been moved to Silver Dollar City to be preserved and enjoyed by guests.
