We loved every minute of the show. Concessions and facilities were very clean. This was a great way to spend the evening. More

Last summer I attended three outdoor historical dramas: "Horn in the West", Boone, NC; "Unto these Hills", Cherokee, NC; and "Liberty", Elizabethton, TN with three grandchildren ages 6 to 14. "Horn in the West" was by far the best; it was very well-done and held the interest of all three children. Some of us enjoyed "Unto these Hills", but it... More

Horn in the west is a summer outdoor theatre that tells the story of Danial Boone and this part of the Blue Ridge Mountains at the time of the revolution. Bring a picnick basket and eat in the part before the show. More

A typical outdoor historical drama . . . but be sure to sit close to the stage so you can hear the dialogue. Arrive early and visit the "living historica" homes that are on the grounds More

Horn in The West is only on in late June through I think mid July. We did not go to it this trip, but went in July of 2011 on another trip to Boone. We love this show and go most everytime we are in Boone. It is basically the same show, but it does change a little. I really... More

All I have to say is this play is wonderful. You will be entertained and feel you have gotten your money's worth. I will warn that if you have small children you should know there is gunfire. More

It's always a treat to go to one of the out-of-doors spectacles: big cast, much movement, action, usually some fireworks. The fire for this show, with Daniel Boone as the stackpole for the story, was in the hands of "Indian" dancers. All the braves handled some fire, but the solo performer time and again went through a burning hoop as... More

really enjoyed the play. Did have difficulty hearing the actors/actresses voices due to lack of personal microphones. Glad I could hear most of it. Wouldn't be great if you were hard of hearing. Always wanted to see this show and finally did. Keep it going!!! More

The performance was solid. It gave an interesting story that is not often told. The seats are hard, but they sell cushons for an additional 50 cents. More
