Join a local guide for an entertaining look at the sights of Branson as you visit the most scenic and memorable locations around town. This tour combines history, insight, and funny stories to give you an insider's knowledge of the city and show off one of the most family-friendly tourist stops in the Midwest.
This tour is about way more than the shows and entertainers that are here now and have been here for the past 20 to 30 years. This tour is about who started Branson in the 1880's, why they settled in this rugged part of the country instead of continuing on westward to flatter, more fertile farm land…and gold and oil. It's about the spirit and soul of the original settlers and pioneers that settled here. It's about the book, Shepherd of the Hills, and it's author, Harold Bell Wright. It's about who and what a Baldknobber really was and what the name actually means! It's about the White River and the lakes that make up the White River Chain of Lakes, and how immensely important those lakes and that river have been and continue to be to the economy of the entire region here. You will hear funny stories, see beautiful scenery and will be honestly touched and inspired by your visit to The College of the Ozarks Campus and a stop at the gorgeous Keeter Center.
