International Story Telling Center, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute, is the only one of its kind in the world, being wholly dedicated to the oral tradition of story telling. The campus is situated in a three acre park and has an inn on-site for visitors. Every year, from May to October, there is a program of 'tellers in residence' who entertain the audiences for 5 days each week. They also conduct workshops on campus. The three-day, annual National Story Telling Festival is held in early October each year. People come from all over the globe to hear these stories.
