A trip to this exciting car museum will let you marvel at vehicles of various celebrities, as well as those featured in different movies over the decades. From the the 1966 Chrysler Imperial seen in the 'Green Hornet' TV show to the Beatles Yellow Submarine from the same year, there is plenty of nostalgia here. However, not all of the celebrity cars on display were those owned by Hollywood elites; in fact Winston Churchill's 1939 Safari Wagon and President Truman's Lincoln are also prominently exhibited here.
This museum is located in the center of Branson amid the bright lights and flashy country singers, but inside it's a somber reminder of the American lives lost in the horrors of war. You will be able to read letters sent home by WWII prisoners-of-war as well as view photographs taken in the heat of the battle. There are also beautiful murals that depict tragic scenes of war and humility. Outside, you will be impressed with the giant sculpture of 50 soldiers running up a beach. This is one patriotic stop in Branson you will not want to miss.
This experience is one of two (the other is in Pigeon Forge, TN) Titanic exhibits which take you back to the voyage on that fateful April night. Inside the museum, there is a large-scale reproduction of the Grand Staircase, an 18-foot (5.4-meter) model of the ship, and galleries full of historical treasures in which there are hundreds of actual artifacts from crew and passengers alike. The museum is very interactive, where you can touch an iceberg, or shovel some coal into a mock boiler.
Just outside of Branson at the College of the Ozarks, you will discover one of the best local collections of Ozarkian memorabilia around. This three-story building, which was once a men's dormitory, now houses antiques and fine arts along with objects representing the region's history, archeology, environment, numismatics, geology and mineralogy. Ralph D. Foster, who was an avid gun collector, donated the majority of the collection. While you are here, don't forget to check out Pancho Villa's gun.
