Music made famous by classical composers, cowboy poets, cinematic blockbusters, ’50s heartthrobs, ’60s pop bands, and today’s Top 40 artists can be enjoyed from early morning through the afternoon and until late at night.
Several internationally famous performers call Branson home, as do scores of ensemble production shows featuring large casts of singers, dancers and musicians. State-of-the-art productions, world-class tribute shows, and famous national touring acts add to an eclectic mix of entertainment. We like to say that we have “more stars per square foot in Branson than anywhere else in the universe!”

Comedians are a Branson staple, both as headliners and specialty acts in zany variety shows and opening acts. Peals of laughter can be heard throughout Branson with
comedy the whole family can enjoy and tickles everyone’s funny bone.

LET BRANSON’S FAMILIES ENTERTAIN YOUR FAMILY
“When half of the Lennon family considered moving from California to Branson in 1994, we called the Osmonds,” said Kathy Lennon, one of The Lennon Sisters, America’s Sweethearts of Song. “They told us Branson is exactly what America needs, where families really matter. With the different generations of Lennons performing here, it truly is a family matter and we love it!”
For many families in Branson, show business is the family business. The Baldknobbers and Presleys feature three generations of family members who perform together nightly.

These talented families will inspire and wow every member of your family with their dazzling musical, comedic and vocal talents. These, and the many other shows in Branson starring family members, are fine examples of incredibly talented performers, endowed with musical gifts. They have also mastered the art of presenting full-scale production shows complete with elaborate sets, high-tech laser light systems, costumes, props, audio-video
elements and pyrotechnics. Fun is what Branson’s show business families are all about—for their families and yours!

Within minutes of the bright lights of Branson, outdoor enthusiasts may enjoy ziplining, hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, trout and bass fishing, hunting, trap and skeet shooting, spelunking, rock climbing, as well as recreational and competitive sporting activities. Public parks, beaches, resorts, campgrounds, forests and recreational facilities abound.
The Branson/Lakes Area has three pristine
lakes with hundreds of miles of natural shoreline and more than 100,000 acres of city, state, federal and privately-owned forest, conservation, wilderness and park areas available to visitors.
Visitors can hike the trail at the 1,574-acre Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area. In addition, there are three hiking trails, a cave and a view of Lake Taneycomo within the 130-acre Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area on Fall Creek Road.
Missouri’s 1.5-million acre Mark Twain National Forest offers guests a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities in and around the nearby towns of Kimberling City and Forsyth.
TOPOGRAPHY The Ozark Mountain terrain of caves, streams, rivers, lakes,
waterfalls, grasslands, forests, steep rocky hillsides, bottomland and glades make up the breathtaking topography of the area.
BALDS Although hardwood forests cover much of the Branson/Lakes
Area, one of the most intriguing features is the “glades,” frequently referred to as “balds” by locals because of their characteristically sparse terrain of semi-desert soil, ledge-rock, scattered cedar trees and prairie plants amidst rolling seas of oak and hickory trees. You’ll
most often see glades on the south- and west-facing slopes of hills. Intense and prolonged sunlight, coupled with fires started by lightning, Native Americans or early settlers, have kept them relatively clear of trees.
BALD KNOBBERS The area’s balds served as
important meeting spots for the 1880’s vigilante justice gangs that organized in Taney County after many years of lawlessness following the Civil War.
Started by upstanding citizens, the Bald Knobbers, as they became known, concealed their identities for fear of retribution by criminals and eventually lost popular support due to their increasingly ruthless and seemingly indiscriminate (and sometimes murderous) tactics.
You can still see “Baldknobbers” in Branson, the musical instrument-toting kind, at the Baldknobbers’ Jamboree show; well past their 55th year of bringing music and family entertainment to audiences.
Kayaks and canoes are a great way to explore Branson’s beautiful lakes, but the next time you’re down for outdoor adventure, stand up on a paddleboard instead.

DOGWOOD CANYON Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is a privately-owned 2,200-acre
park located southwest of Branson on Hwy. 86. Dogwood Canyon offers beautiful natural rock bluffs, tree-lined fields, dozens of waterfalls, crystal-clear streams teeming with brown and rainbow trout, log cabin lodging, on-site dining and shopping, as well as activities for everyone from the casual observer to the seasoned adventurer.
You can enjoy miles of paved walking, biking and hiking trails, horseback riding, guided tram and jeep tours, trout fishing, kayaking and more with paid admission to the park.
Guests can see bison, longhorns and elk on the guided tram tours. Dogwood Canyon offers fishing guide service and Orvis fly fishing schools by appointment, and will even arrange a mock city-slicker “cattle drive,”
complete with horses, cattle, gear,
and chuckwagon-style meals for groups.
WOLFE CREEK PRESERVEWolfe Creek Preserve, just seven miles north of Branson, is
home to Branson Zipline Canopy Tours. An authentic zipline canopy tour, plus the Ozarks Xplorer and the Flying Prospector, has visitors soaring through the trees while traversing a series of ziplines, sky bridges and platforms.
The guided eco-adventures include third-party, safety-certified guides sharing topographical, ecological and historical information. Guests choose from four different canopy tours or take the Blue Streak Fast Line with Freefall Xpress – a thrilling zip with a 100-ft. freefall.
TABLE ROCK LAKESHORE TRAIL The two-mile Table Rock Lakeshore
Trail connects the Dewey Short Visitor Center to the Showboat Branson Belle and Table Rock State Park. The eight-
foot-wide paved trail is open from dawn to dusk and can accommodate foot traffic, motorized wheelchairs, bicycles, skateboards, Segways and scooters.
The Ozark Mountain Nature Trail Association hopes eventually to extend the trail into a 12-mile hiking and biking trail reaching from the Taneycomo lakefront in Historic Downtown Branson to the town of Reeds Spring.
Fly among the tall treetops and enjoy beautiful views and incredible panoramas of the Ozark Mountains with one of
Branson’s exciting zipline experiences.

The woods are teeming with deer, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, wild turkeys, great horned owls, great blue herons and pileated woodpeckers.

RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS

lakeside or on top of the Ozark Mountains, but wherever you stay, you are just minutes away from great live shows and exciting attractions; neon and nature beckons you.
In the Branson/Lakes Area, there are 35 RV Parks with 2,870 sites: 2,000 with full hookup (electric, water, sewer), 735 water/electric or
just electric and 135 tent sites. You can enjoy the comforts of a full-service 20/30/50-amp RV site or unplug and reconnect with your family in the backwoods near one of three pristine lakes in the area. Most of the area’s RV Parks and campground sites are located on or just minutes away from Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake and are close to nearby Branson shows and attractions.
Many offer WiFi and Internet access to help you keep up with emails from family and friends and most are very pet-friendly. Branson/Lakes Area RV Parks and campgrounds boast a Good Sam award-winner and are often featured in Trailer Life. RVing is definitely a family affair. Kids, parents and grandparents benefit from time spent together.

GOLF’S OZARK MOUNTAIN OASISWhen you explore Branson golf, you’ll discover a new world of
award-winning courses connected with the greatest names in golf: Fazio, Nicklaus, Palmer and soon, Ben Crenshaw and Gary Player. These courses offer world-class golfing experiences.
Newly reopened, Top of the Rock is now the host of PGA’s Legends of Golf event. The first-ever Par-3 course to be included in a professional championship, it features nature and golf at its finest. The experience includes a Jack Nicklaus signature course, an Arnold Palmer-designed practice facility, Tom Watson’s putting complex called the “Himalayas,” and Arnie’s Barn, a 150-year-old barn relocated from Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
The Buffalo Ridge Springs course has a growing reputation as one of the top public courses in the nation. It ranks as the best public course in Missouri. A Tom Fazio design utilizing all of the natural features of the landscape, formerly Branson Creek now with a herd of bison looking on.
Branson Hills Golf Club is a tribute course honoring Legendary Missouri Golfers. Natural rock outcroppings, waterfalls, creeks and wooded areas are incorporated. The course
was designed by Chuck Smith with design consultant and PGA Professional, Bobby Clampett.
Thousand Hills Golf Resort was rated 4-stars by Golf Digest magazine and was voted “Best of the Ozarks” by the readers of the
Springfield News-Leader in the past few years. This course has gained popularity
from its unique ability in catering to all golf skill levels. From novice to professional, the three separate sets of tees ensure a challenging, fair game for all golfers.
LedgeStone Country Club at StoneBridge Village was described by
Golf Digest as a “masterpiece of mountain golf architecture.” The 18-hole, par 71, championship course is just minutes from downtown Branson.
Pointe Royale is a true “shot-maker” course with lush bent grass greens and Bermuda fairways, eight water holes, sand and grass bunkers, and tees for all levels of play.
Holiday Hills invites you to play a “round” with them. The scenery alone is breathtaking. A round of golf at Branson’s first golf course will promise to be a golfing adventure.

LAKES
THREE PRISTINE LAKESThe Branson/Lakes Area is well known for its three pristine lakes:
Table Rock, Taneycomo and Bull Shoals. Water sports enthusiasts can swim, water ski, wakeboard, tube, boat, sail, scuba dive, jet ski, parasail, kayak and, of course, fish. The lakes’ waters never freeze, welcoming visitors’ activities year-round. All three lakes offer resort lodging, camping and picnicking facilities and easy access to the water at a number of public marinas and boat docks/launch areas. Several commercial docks offer fishing guide services and a wide range of boat rentals, including ski boats, pontoon boats, bass boats and wave runners. Many of the resorts on the three lakes offer guide service, rental boats, snack bars and private dock facilities for visitors’ boats as well.
TABLE ROCK LAKE Accessible from multiple public and privately-owned locations
just minutes to the west of Branson, Table Rock Lake has been delighting visitors and residents alike since it was formed by the damming of the White River in 1959. While visitors can find dozens of places to stay and play along the banks of Table Rock Lake, the area’s commercial developments have placed a high priority on preserving the scenic beauty of the Ozarks’ natural shoreline, bluffs, forests and wildlife.
FISHING TABLE ROCK LAKE Missouri’s deepest (200 feet) and clearest reservoir, Table Rock
is nationally recognized as a top bass fishing lake. Large numbers of largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky spotted bass and white bass thrive in its diverse underwater structure and immense forage base. Bass, crappie and large bluegill are caught in abundance. Catfish of all sizes also roam the lake bottom.
Many area resorts and marinas can hook you up with an experienced fishing guide, and there are hundredsof national, regional and local tournaments held each year.
TABLE ROCK LAKE FACTS • 43,000 to 52,300 acres of surface area (depending on the water level) • 857 miles of shoreline • Table Rock Dam was completed in 1959 • The dam is 6,423 ft. long and 252 ft. high.

LAKE TANEYCOMOAccessible from many points, including downtown Branson,
Rockaway Beach, Forsyth, Powersite, Hollister and the Fall Creek area, Lake Taneycomo was formed with the completion of Powersite Dam in 1913. Originally a section of the White River, Taneycomo is now technically a lake, yet retains the look and feel of a river. When Table Rock Dam was completed at Taneycomo’s headwaters in 1959, the nature of the lake changed. Taneycomo’s water now comes from the bottom of Table Rock Lake, making it a cold water lake. The cold, clear water, stocked annually with approximately 750,000 rainbow trout, makes Lake Taneycomo a world-class trout fishery.
Resorts and full-service public marinas offer canoeing, kayaking, fishing boats, motorboats, guides, tackle and pontoons for relaxing and fun-filled lake activities.
FISHING LAKE TANEYCOMO The uppermost portion of the lake is reserved for artificial lures
only such as tiny jigs and crankbaits. These headwaters are also ideal for fly fishing with flies that imitate the freshwater shrimp and other natural bait that trout feed upon.
The locals say the best way to catch trout is by drifting salmon eggs or angleworms. Affix the eggs or worms to a small hook and cast into holes with an ultra light rod and reel. This method used from a drifting boat or dock will yield a nice stringer of trout.
Lower Lake Taneycomo harbors a well-kept secret. The downstream area closer to Forsyth offers considerably warmer water and many other species of fish, making Taneycomo a versatile and challenging destination for anglers who are aware of its changing character from one end to the other. Fishing guides are available to help you make the most of your Lake Taneycomo experience.
LAKE TANEYCOMO FACTS • 2,000+ acres of surface area • 40+ miles of shoreline • 58 degrees - average water temperature • 750,000 + rainbow and brown trout stocked annually
FISHING LICENSES A fishing license is required to fish in the State of Missouri.Residents under 16 and over 65 are not required to have a basic fishing license and daily fishing permits are available. Military serving in the armed forces of the United States, and all former members of the United States armed forces and their immediate families stationed and residing in Missouri, may receive resident permit privileges. More information may be found at mdc.mo.gov
Check Missouri’s trout fishing permit requirements from the Department of Conservation by calling (417) 895-6880 or visiting www.missouriconservation.org prior to your fishing trip on Lake Taneycomo. You can also consult a local guide service, marina or resort for up-to-date fishing regulation information. Area merchants offer fishing licenses.

BULL SHOALS LAKE Bull Shoals begins where Taneycomo ends and flows eastward from Forsyth into Arkansas. Bull Shoals Dam, the fifth largest
concrete dam in the United States, is located seven miles north of Cotter, Arkansas. The lake’s shoreline is relatively undeveloped and features steep bluffs and rock ledges. The lake has many areas within 20 ft. of the shoreline measuring 50 ft. deep or more. Its crystalline water makes the lake an ideal spot for scuba divers. Light tackle and line are the best choice for anglers.
Bull Shoals also provides a variety of public access points and a selection of quaint fishing lodges that offer privacy and a chance to explore surrounding Ozark Mountain scenery at its finest.
FISHING BULL SHOALS LAKE Bull Shoals Lake is popular for its white, largemouth and spotted
bass. It is a popular tournament lake and has a reputation for producing lunker fish of several varieties, including stripers that weigh in at more than 50 pounds.
Record catches on this lake include a 5-pound, 5-ounce white bass, a 13-pound, 14-ounce largemouth bass and a 21-pound, 1-ounce walleye. Crappie, bream and catfish of all sizes can be found in Bull Shoals Lake.

With the variety of things that bring smiles for miles, Branson is an ideal destination for your family’s vacation.
Known to many as the “live music show capital of the world,” Branson is home to hundreds of talented performers and a variety of stage shows featuring diverse musical genres – from gospel to rock and everything in-between.
While Branson’s reputation for fantastic live music is well known – and well deserved – it’s sometimes easy to overlook the fact Branson has some of the finest resorts, restaurants, golf courses, shopping destinations and attractions in the country. If you’re looking for a family vacation that’s packed with fun, and smiles, Branson is the place for you. Need proof? Check out these experiences just waiting for you in Branson. You might want to start exercising those facial muscles.
Stylish stays – After a long day of fun, there’s nothing better than a relaxing swim, warm shower and cozy bedding. There are thousands of rooms available in Branson; the difficult part is choosing where to stay. Pamper yourself with a night at Chateau on the Lake and enjoy stunning views, stay in the heart of downtown at Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing, treat the family to a weekend at Grand Country Inn, and gear up for shopping, shows, family fun and a breakfast buffet at Welk Resort.
Delicious dining – There’s something for every palate in Branson. Experience fine food and heavenly tastes at Devil’s Pool restaurant at Big Cedar Lodge, sample fantastic barbecue and mouthwatering burgers at Danna’s Bar-B-Q and Burger Shop, or get a taste of Mexico at Cantina Laredo, a popular place to enjoy a drink whether you’ve spent a long day working or playing.
877-BRANSON | ExploreBranson.com | 2016 Branson Vacation Guide [45]
Retail therapy – One of best the things about vacation is taking time to do a little shopping. Regardless of what you’re after, you find it in Branson. And with choices such as the Branson Landing, Tanger Outlets and Grand Village Shops, you can check off all the items on your shopping list … but you don’t have to stop.
Grip it and rip it – Golf courses in Branson have been making golfers smile for years. It’s little wonder area courses are consistently ranked as some of the top public courses in Missouri. In fact, Payne Stewart Golf Club was named the state’s best course in both 2012 and 2013 by Golfweek magazine. Elsewhere around Branson, check out Thousand Hills Golf Resort, Pointe Royale Golf Course and the Buffalo Ridge Springs Course, which will host players from the PGA’s Champions Tour from 2014-19.
Awesome attractions – With apologies to Leo and Kate, watching “Titanic” isn’t quite the same as exploring Titanic Museum
Attraction in Branson. With artifacts and personal stories recovered from the ill-fated luxury liner and her passengers, it truly is a can’t-miss destination. From Titanic, it’s just two minutes to Branson’s Hollywood Wax Museum, where you rub elbows with everyone from movie stars like Brad Pitt to famous film villains, such as Count Dracula. Just kidding about the rubbing elbows thing; don’t touch the wax, you’ll get in trouble.
Remember, these are just some of the options waiting for you in Branson. You can customize your Branson vacation experience online at ExploreBranson.com.

WINERIES
MISSOURI WINESThere were German immigrants that founded the wine industry in Missouri in the early 1800’s, which resulted in its wine grape-growing corridor being referred to as the Missouri Rhineland. Later, Italian immigrants moved into the area and began producing wine. In the mid-1880s, more wine was produced by volume in Missouri than in any other state. Before the Volstead Act enacted Prohibition, Missouri was the second-largest wine-producing state in the country.
CURLING VINE WINERY(FORMERLY STONE HILL WINERY)
Newcomers to Branson may be surprised to find Missouri’s oldest and most awarded winery as one of the town’s most popular attractions. With 12,000 square feet of space, Curling Vine Winery’s Branson location has been receiving and entertaining visitors since 1986. The winery delights hundreds of tourists daily with a free, fun-filled hour of touring. Tasting the many award-winning wines completes the experience. Guests are invited to soak in the delightful aromas of maturing sherry and watch the actual bottling process of one of Curling Vine’s famous wines.
MOUNT PLEASANT WINERYMount Pleasant Winery, with their award-winning
wines, offers another reason to learn more about oenology, the science and study of all aspects of wine and winemaking. More than just a terrific place to enjoy great wines, it has a wine shop, an art gallery and hands-on bottling experiences all rolled into one. Visitors to Mount Pleasant have the unique opportunity to bottle their own dessert wine from a specially designed 600-gallon French oak barrel. Be sure to visit the tasting galleries, where more than wine is on display. The tasting galleries feature the works of renowned Missouri artists — from glass and folk artisans to painters and sculptors.
LINDWEDEL WINE GARDENLindwedel Wine Garden features wines produced in
the state of Missouri. The Lindwedel staff provides “a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy some of God’s most precious gifts, for any occasion, or none at all.”
The idea of a wine garden began by thinking of a way to tie together a chemistry background, with a love for the “farm,” and a wish to enjoy family and friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
With outdoor decks and picnic areas overlooking an Ozark panorama, indoor sitting rooms, and an event hall for larger groups, the wine garden offers a beautiful location for weddings, parties, reunions and other social gatherings.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN
Historic Downtown Branson, just east of US 65 along the shores of Lake Taneycomo, is where Branson got its start around 1888. The city was incorporated in 1912 and celebrated its centennial in 2012. Fires and floods couldn’t stop the community from growing and developing along the banks of the White River. The community was rebuilt more than once to provide for the needs of the area and its residents.
Today, Historic Downtown Branson is reminiscent of a century-old village with its preserved and restored building facades, tree-lined brick sidewalks and Victorian lamp posts. The sidewalks feature granite stones that bear testimony to Branson’s commitment to all branches of the United States Armed Forces. Memorial markers give honor to some of its most notable citizens.
Branson is known for its many shows. Downtown hosts the Historic Owen Theatre, the first theatre, built in 1934 and located just across the street is the Hot Hits Theatre.
A variety of affordable shops and stores are all within an easy stroll. Free trolley rides offer an excursion through historic downtown with its flavor of an old-time Main Street, a mid-20th century train and depot, live entertainment, Ozarks music and choices of restaurants that offer homemade meals, from the eclectic Level 2 Steakhouse at the Hilton Convention Center Hotel to the down-home Farmhouse restaurant. Fudge, homemade candy, ice cream shops, snacks and more are all within easy walking
distance. The 1906 restored railroad depot is now home to Branson Scenic Railway, which offers picturesque rides through the Ozarks countryside in authentic 1950s luxury passenger cars.
Visitors from near and far find unique shopping opportunities in the historic downtown where you will find more than
80 “mom and pop” stores offering unique merchandise. Dick’s 5 & 10, a Historic Downtown Branson landmark, celebrates more than 50 years. This one-of-a-kind, family-owned and operated store offers hours of shopping and browsing through its more than 50,000 select items and unique collections.
Lake Taneycomo is a premier fishing locale that offers visitors the opportunity to spend a relaxing day sightseeing or fishing. The lake forms the easternmost and southernmost borders of the downtown district.

THE ARTS
Branson’s artistic side includes paintings, sculptures and other art forms. Visitors can see many of these displays throughout the area.
East of the entrance to The Shoppes at Branson Meadows off Gretna Road, a small pavilion shelters a bronze eagle resting atop a four-sided monument. A tribute to all veterans, the exhibit was dedicated in 1995 by Bob Hope and The Children of the Ozarks. The centerpiece at Central Bank, in historic downtown Branson, is “Flight,” an impressive sculpture portraying four geese in take-off by artist Gary Price. Reflections at The Grand Village is the late painter Thomas Kinkade’s exclusive signature store where visitors can go to admire and purchase his work. Don’t miss local artists in their galleries: Tim Cherry, Tom Crain and Mitch Yung.
Inside Branson City Hall, Townsend Godsey’s vintage photo-graphs hang. “These Were The Last,” depicting life in the Ozarks in the 1930s and early 1940s, and “Stewards of Freedom,” a gold-laden eagle sculpture presented to the city by the National Flag Founda-tion in 1999. Located in front of the Post Office in historic down-town Branson, the “Circle of the Waters” sculpture by Lee Robert-son is included in the Smithsonian’s survey of public sculpture.
Edwards Art Gallery and Boger Art Gallery, both located at Col-lege of the Ozarks, house dozens of paintings. Edwards Art Gallery, part of the Ralph Foster Museum, displays Ozarks painter Thomas Hart Benton. His “Departure of the Joads” painting was used as the frontispiece for John Steinbeck’s novel “The Grapes of Wrath,” and his lithographs are part of the museum’s permanent collection. Steve Miller’s murals in the C of O Library are well worth seeing.
Just north of Branson is Bonniebrook, home of famous artist, illustrator, sculptor, writer and creator of the Kewpie Doll, the late Rose O’Neill. On the grounds are two of Miss O’Neill’s very imagi-native Sweet Monster sculptures, “Embrace of the Tree” and “The Fauness.” The Kewpie Museum houses O’Neill’s original works.
Much of the history of the Ozarks can be traced through the crafts of local residents. For generations, residents of the Ozark Mountains made what they needed including quilts, pottery, bas-kets, glassware and wrought iron.
Today, craftsmanship is an integral part of the area’s culture and is celebrated with festivals, events and permanent exhibitions. Autumn Daze are held downtown each fall, showcasing arts & crafts created by area residents.
At Silver Dollar City theme park, visitors can watch craftsmen demonstrate the arts of basket weaving, glass blowing, ironworking and woodcarving, among others. Each fall at the National Harvest Festival, there are dozens of additional artists and craftsmen dem-onstrating their skills. Guests can purchase one-of-a-kind heirloom-quality items made by the artisans.
Old-time crafts can also be seen at the Shepherd of the Hills Historic Homestead where turn-of-the-century works of traditional Ozarks art are on display daily.
The Branson Mill Craft Village features the work of more artisans, many of them working on site to showcase their wood, textile, glass and leather art and crafts.

A MARVELOUS BEGINNINGFor more than 100 years, the Branson/Lakes
Area has been attracting visitors to the Ozarks, lured by natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities. The first family attraction to draw visitors was Marvel Cave (beneath the property where Silver Dollar City theme park is currently located). First called Marble Cave because its limestone walls were thought to be marble, the cave was described by geologists in the 1860s and explored in the 1880s by adventurers who lowered themselves on ropes 200 feet into the main chamber.
Scientific American magazine described the cave in 1885, and word of the natural wonder spread throughout the continent. Canadian mining expert William Henry Lynch read of the cave, purchased it sight unseen, traveled to the Ozarks and, with his two daughters, opened the cave for public tours in 1894.
On the advice of his physician, minister Harold Bell Wright traveled from his home in Kansas to the Ozarks in 1898 to seek a more suitable climate for his health. He stayed at the homestead of John and Anna Ross, whom Wright later immortalized as the characters Old Matt and Aunt Mollie in his best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” Published in 1907, the book told the story of the self-reliant and stoic hill people he encountered in the area and of the wooded valleys, the mountain “balds” and the incredible cave he had seen.
The book was a huge success. Millions of copies were sold in several languages, and four movies were filmed, including a 1941 version starring John Wayne, his first Technicolor film. Wright’s novel has become the fourth most widely read book in publishing history. Following the publication of “The Shepherd of the Hills,” local residents began noticing a great influx of visitors. Many came
to the Ross homestead. The Rosses eventually sold their homestead to Miss Lizzie McDaniel of
Springfield, who began presenting the very first dramatization of Wright’s story, right on the front lawn.
When Ozark Beach Dam (also called Powersite Dam) was built in 1913 near Forsyth and Lake Taneycomo was created, the area became quite a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who came to fish, boat, swim, hunt and enjoy the rugged beauty of the Ozark Mountains. Travelers flocked to the Ozarks on the newly-built White River Line railroad that stopped in the neighboring town of Hollister, Missouri.
1950 - 1969TV SHOWS & HYDROELECTRIC POWER
The area first gained national prominence in the entertainment industry in 1954 when Red Foley, a legendary country singer with 38 top ten hits, moved to Springfield, Missouri from Nashville, Tennessee to host “Ozark Jubilee,” one of the first successful network television shows.
In 1959, the area was changed forever with the completion of Table Rock Dam. This brought much needed power to the area, spurring the growth of many area businesses. Until 1959, Rockaway Beach, located just a few miles east of Branson on the banks of Lake Taneycomo, had long been a playground for America’s rich and famous with movie stars and U.S. presidents among those who retreated to the small resort community.
Construction of a dam created Table Rock Lake, nationally renowned for bass fishing and water sports. In addition, the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock Lake that was now flowing into Lake Taneycomo changed it into one of the country’s most popular trout fly-fishing lakes.

FIRST FAMILIES OF ENTERTAINMENT
BALDKNOBBERS JAMBOREEIn 1959, Mabe brothers Bob, Bill, Lyle,
and Jim began performing twice a week in a converted roller skating rink on the Lake Taneycomo waterfront in downtown Branson. The brothers combined popular country tunes with Ozark Mountain music and threw in a dash of comedy to entertain audiences. In 1969, the Baldknobbers, as the brothers called themselves, built a theater on Highway 76, making their act the longest continuously running show.
SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS HOMESTEAD& OUTDOOR DRAMA
A few miles east of Silver Dollar City, Dr. Bruce Trimble and his wife, Mary, began staging an outdoor pageant in 1959 based on the best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” The amphitheater was actually located on the site where the models for author Harold Bell Wright’s characters lived. Under the direction of Mary, with her son Mark and his wife Lea, the production grew into one of the nation’s most popular outdoor historical dramas. In 1985, Gary Snadon (school teacher and former cast member of the outdoor drama) along with his wife, Pat, purchased the homestead.
SILVER DOLLAR CITYIn 1960, the long-term plans of Hugo and Mary Herschend came
to fruition with the opening of a small, old-time Ozarks village attraction atop the long-popular Marvel Cave, about 10 miles west of Branson on Hwy. 76. They called it Silver Dollar City, and it offered an 1880s steam train ride, demonstrating craftsmen, themed shops and music. The first year, it drew 125,000 people.
Following Hugo’s death, Mary and her sons Jack and Peter continued to direct the growth of the family business, and by 1963, Silver Dollar City was Missouri’s top tourist attraction. In 1967, Silver Dollar City received national exposure when the “Beverly
Hillbillies” TV show filmed five episodes at the Branson theme park.
The company later expanded to include other popular Branson attractions: White Water water park and the Showboat Branson Belle. Today, Silver Dollar City has grown into a multi-million dollar entertainment complex. The park also hosts six festivals each year.
In 1998, Silver Dollar City was given the Applause Award by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions as the top theme park in the world. The family-owned company, Herschend Family Entertainment, currently owns, operates or partners in 19 properties in nine states. In 2004, Jack and Peter Herschend were inducted into the Hall of Fame of the amusement industry’s largest organization worldwide, the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.
PRESLEYS’ COUNTRY JUBILEEIn 1963, the Presley family began a music show at The
Underground Theater near Talking Rocks Cavern with special guests from “Ozark Jubilee,” including Red Foley. They made history in 1967 when they built the first music theater on Hwy. 76. Today, Presleys’ Country Jubilee stars three generations of Presley family members including two original members of the show: Gary and Steve Presley, Lloyd and Bessie’s sons. Together with other cast members, each night they perform a variety of music on a wide range of instruments, and a much loved array of comedy skits.
For more than a hundred years, Branson has been attracting visitors to the Ozarks, lured by natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities.
