The Stephen Foster Story has been delighting audiences at the J. Dan Talbott Amphitheatre since 1959.

Susanna", "Camptown Races", "Beautiful Dreamer", "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," & Kentucky's state song "My Old Kentucky Home," The Stephen Foster Story captures the essence of a by-gone era through song, dance, breathtaking costumes, and the picture-perfect setting of My Old Kentucky Home State Park in Bardstown, KY.
