Veterans Memorial Museum: A True Heritage of Branson

Visiting Branson in Missouri would be incomplete without visiting the historical presence of the Veterans Memorial Museum. The natural outskirts of Branson have been perfectly blessed with the presence of this museum, which has the emblems of the traditional people of Branson. The Veterans Memorial Museum is a symbolic notification of the freedom fighters of Branson.

The Veterans Memorial Museum adds a lot of variety to Branson, which shows the other part of this wonderful city. This part is quite important, as it owes to the fighters who fought out for the freedom of this place. This museum is the representation of the life of some great American fighters and real life heroes.

Fredd Hope was the sculptor and the brain behind this museum that had drawn inspiration from the stories of the battlefield from the senior Hope, his father. The younger Hope has framed his feelings and imaginations into this great architecture that resembled his veteran fighter father.  There have been 10 distinct walls in this museum, in which some depicts the World War scenarios and the struggles of the fighters.

The other special features of this museum include the special room known as the “booty room” which holds testimony to the military souvenirs. The equipment’s, objects of art and culture, memorabilia and uniforms have been exhibited in the walls. The most spectacular feature is however a 70 feet bronze sculpture of life size soldiers who are 50 in number. There have been soldiers from all the states with Fredd Hope Senior leading the charge for the soldiers. Therefore, the Veterans Memorial Museum has been a true heritage of the life of the fighters of the state and the city.

Branson: A City for All Ages

I like paying a visit to Branson, MO, every chance I get. You would find something that can attract people of all ages. For the younger siblings, you would find different rides as a form of attraction. You can find a small ride region having water rides for kids of 3-5 years.

There are individuals moving inside the water as safety measures. Even though the water there is knee-deep, your little one might find to be bigger and enjoy the time. You have the option of playing different types of miniature gold or have a ride on small trains.

You would find more than 200 shows across Branson. The one, which we visited, was the Red Skeleton Show. In this case, Tom Mullica played the Red Skeleton. For people watching the show for the first time, the possibilities of finding the Red to be real are very high. Tom actually has similarities with Red. Again, the hand movements and other expressions are similar to the Reds. Red Skeleton is one of my favorite shows in Branson.

We also find Showboat Branson Belle to be quite wonderful in all aspects. The only things, which made me have less liking for the place, were:

  • Long walk required to reach the boat
  • Steep hill down to the place
  • Tough to climb back again
