• View the dam from both the river side and the lake side, along with information about the Shepherd of the Hills Trout Hatchery. • Learn why College of the Ozarks is cherished by both locals and visitors from around the globe. This institution has seen visits from Presidents, First Ladies, Prime Ministers, and Military Leaders. The stop at The Keeter Center includes coffee, ice cream, baked goods, shopping, and conversations with students. • Discover the origins of tourism in Branson, linked to the success of "Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Bell Wright. The stop is on the very land where the book was both written and set, which also serves as a restroom break. • Explore a charming Old English Village showcasing Tudor-style architecture, interesting shops, galleries, and dining options. Learn how the railroad significantly impacted the town's development. The Downing Street District is a notable destination for unique shopping and dining experiences. • Visit downtown Branson, located along the shores of Lake Taneycomo, where Reuben Branson and his wife, Mary, established the Branson General Store around 1881. The area has since undergone significant changes, featuring various shops and restaurants in the historic district. Like Hollister, this area is worth revisiting after the tour concludes. This district avoids franchise restaurants and retail chains, but Branson Landing Mall is located just down the hill and across the railroad tracks for additional shopping options.
