The Monroe homestead, on nearby Jerusalem Ridge, is being restored and is the site of an annual Bluegrass festival that attracts 9-10,000 people for a four day feast of bluegrass music. Rustic wooden stages are set up in the woodlands next to the homestead. People sit on hay bales and the ground to listen to music that starts after breakfast and continues into the night. Small, informal string bands are formed around the grounds and play around the clock.
