Does anyone on this site? Remember going to the Sunhearth Fourth of July folk festival?
and just maybe, @Dwain-Wilder can tell us when they started, and when the last year was…?
I would love to hear your memories!
Family History & Tales of Walt Martin & Sunhearth Dulcimers
It is amazing pedigree to be sure. I am very grateful to have been a small part of it.
Mike Martin (My uncle Mike and godfather, my mother’s cousin) was stationed in Cuba with my father in the Navy many years ago. So Mike Martin was how my parents met…and how, many years later, Sunhearth transitioned from one branch of my family to the other!
Welcome to FOTMD, Lara. You should indeed be proud. Both Sunhearth and Bear Meadow have attainted the status of legends in the dulcimer community for both quality and innovation.

I am a member of the Martin family who grew up going to Sunhearth every year. I am also the daughter of DwainW. of Bear Meadow dulcimers.
I would love to hear your stories of Sunhearth And my great uncle Walt. (My profile pic is of me and uncle Walt..chillin in the sun) And I am happy to share some of my own.
