The nation’s oldest Revolutionary War outdoor drama returns to the Daniel Boone Amphitheater Tuesdays through Saturdays from June 26 through August 8. Gates open at 7 pm. Take in history under the stars with music, live battle scenes and firelight.

Celebrate America 250 by enjoying this exciting trip back in time, to the 18th century North Carolina High Country before and during the Revolutionary War when the 13 colonies threw off British rule to establish the United States of America.

Horn in the West brings to life the famous frontiersman Daniel Boone and the hardy mountain settlers of the Blue Ridge Mountains in their struggle to preserve their freedom during the years before and during the War for Independence. The drama highlights those settlers who came to the region seeking freedom and escape from British tyranny. Dr. Geoffrey Stuart, a prominent British physician, comes to the Colony of Carolina to study the dreaded disease smallpox, bringing his wife, Martha, and their teenage son, Jack. Through hardship and danger, house-raising and romance, the ties that bind the Stuart family and the small pioneer community grow. Dr. Stuart finds himself a respected leader in this hidden mountain community but has to resolve his conflicted feelings of loyalty to the Crown and his family's sympathy for the Regulators and their fight for American independence.

Since 1952, Horn in the West has offered thrilling outdoor entertainment to generations of Americans. Loved by young and old alike, Horn in the West brings the story to life with song, dance and amazing performances.
