For any reader younger than retirement age, there probably isn't much passion for Roy Rogers. But for the first wave of Baby Boomers and the tail end of pre-Boomers, Roy was THE hero-god-white-hatted good guy of their prepubescence. Roy began his career in the 1930s as a yodeling radio cowboy, went on to become a matinee idol in over 80 western movies, and evolved into a small-screen mega-celebrity in 1950s television. Along the way he married his co-star, Dale Evans (it was his third marriage and her fourth), and turned his horse Trigger into a star almost as radiant as himself. According to Rogers family history, Roy -- whose real name was Leonard Slye -- visited the Will Rogers Museum when it opened in 1938 and was dismayed to see that so few of Will's possessions were on display. Roy vowed to save as much of his stuff as possible in case he ever opened his own museum -- and when he and Dale retired in the 1960s, and moved to the High Desert just outside of Victorville, California, that is what he did. Roy would often ride over to the museum -- in a golf cart -- to greet visitors, and was a cheery presence until he died in 1998. With Roy's passing, and the realization that fewer and fewer people were detouring to Victorville to see Roy's stuff, the surviving Rogers pulled up stakes and moved the museum to where older folks (and now, Baby Boomers) took their vacations -- Branson, Missouri. One of Roy's grandsons, Dustin Rogers, now runs the place and is happy to be here. Roy's son, Roy "Dusty" Rogers Jr, performs his dad's old tunes twice a day in the museum's Happy Trails Theater. The museum is packed with mementos from Roy and Dale's long life together: their gun collection, their parade saddles and jeweled riding suits, their power boat. The displays loop around the Happy Trails Theater, set into fake Old West storefronts along an indoor street. From Roy's Shrine fezzes to his hunting trophies to his bowling balls, it seems to all be here. Although Roy was known as "King of the Cowboys" to his fans, he was never an actual cowboy -- he just played one in movies and on TV. Consequently his museum doesn't have a lot of authentic cowboy stuff, but it does have a lot of Hollywood-star-playing-a-cowboy stuff, which is more interesting. The Branson museum is larger than the old Victorville site, and at least as good (without Roy Sr. dropping in, of course). And there are plenty of new features, such as a shooting gallery featuring wax dummies of Roy and Dale (the targets are attached to everything in the tableau except them). Roy was a pioneer celebrity when it came to mining the riches of product licensing (later generations may recall him more as a defunct fast food chain than a movie star). One display showcases nothing but Post cereal boxes that have Roy's grinning face, and several other cases are needed to convey the range of all of the stuff that he endorsed: comic books, hats, shirts, bandannas, cap guns, holsters, knives, gloves, lassos, furniture, sheets, blankets, clocks, dolls, lunch boxes, guitars, rings, badges, musical hobby horses. Reproductions of many of these items are sold in the museum's vast Happy Trails Gift Shop, but the cashier confided to us that most people buy postcards and CDs. Another exhibit of note -- and an example of Roy's dedication to saving stuff -- is the battered 1923 Dodge that his family used when it moved to California, an exhibit that is slightly less evocative now that the museum is in Missouri. To show how far he had traveled in life, the museum also displays Roy's silver dollar Bonneville, which he used when he was grand marshal of the 1960 Rose Parade. It has six-shooters on the door handles, giant steer horns on the front grill, and a metal stud saddle over the transmission hump. Social conservatives dig Roy and Dale's family values (while overlooking the multiple marriages), and many of the exhibits stress this aspect of their lives. One display showcases Roy's father's tools, another shows his mom's scrapbooks, a third displays Dale's Bibles, and one entire exhibit preserves the Rogers family breakfast table with its lazy Susan center. Off in a corner stand dummies of Roy and Dale, decked out in glittery cowboy/cowgirl finery, surrounded by kid dummies that represent their many natural and adopted children, also in western duds. An odd counterpoint to this wholesome image is Roy and Dale's unusual fondness for converting their most beloved dead animals into museum exhibits. Perhaps it's understandable that Trigger, a celebrity in his own right, is here -- frozen in a famous pose, rearing on his hind legs -- but next to him is the far-less-famous Buttermilk (Dale's horse) and the historical afterthought Bullet (the Rogers' German Shepherd). Rumor has it that Roy and Dale wanted to add themselves to the exhibit after they had died (but we probably started that story ourselves). The two are instead buried side-by-side at a cemetery near the former museum in Apple Valley. As the past recedes into warm-and-fuzzy nostalgia, Roy Rogers is remembered as a likable, smiling, church-going, America-loving family guy who was always grateful to the fans that made him a superstar. This image has fueled his museum attendance far beyond the lifespan of his celebrity. Within the ideal aging demographic of Branson, the Happy Trails don't look to be ending any time soon.

Just what is the Shoji Tabuchi Show that everyone loving American music is raving about? At its heart is Branson USA's first family of extraordinary musical entertainment....Shoji Tabuchi, his beautiful wife Dorothy and delightful daughter Christina. The family that plays, sings, and dances encompasses all the wholesome values of truly great family entertainment. Yet the show rivals the pure excitement of Las Vegas or New York. With his sense of musical perfection, Shoji searched long and hard for the right professional musicians to form his band. It is with great pride and affection that he introduces each and every member, all of whom have one or more degrees in music. Their repertoire includes everything from country to classic, played with all the subtlety or verve, as the music demands, of a gifted musical organization. The superb dancers are Dorothy's domain. Working with a renowned choreographer, and long hours of rehearsals, she has brought the dance company to a state of perfection that rivals any dance company in the world. Their creativity ranges from dancing with twirling cowboy ropes to lively polkas to dancing the Sugar Plum Fairy danced on toe during a special Christmas performance. Since the days of the Old Testament, song has been an expression of joy, uplifting the spirit. The company's extraordinary vocalists exemplify that joy with lovely ballads, songs of the 50's and 60's, gospel,...all to the toe-tapping delight of the audience. All is showcased in a theatre that is a phenomenon in itself...often called the "Showplace of Branson." Its decor is reminiscent of the grand theatre palaces of the 1930's. Even the restrooms have awed visitors. The ladies' powder room is complete with wainscoting and ceiling reproduced from the 1890's Empire Period. To the ladies amazement, there are live cut orchids at every granite and onyx pedestal sink. Add to all that stained and jeweled glass and magnificient chandeliers! The gentlemen's lounge is no less imposing, with black lion head sinks imported from Italy, black leather chairs and a marble fireplace. The billiard room contains a hand carved mahogany billiard table, a viewing gallery, and a burled walnut mirror that was built in 1868. Exciting musical and variety entertainment in a palatial setting appeals to both the young and the young-at-heart. The Shoji Tabuchi Show is a colossal show in a scenic little Ozark Mountain town...a show that no visitor to Branson should miss. Performances are at 3 pm and 7:30 pm, Monday through Saturday, with some Sunday performances and very special shows during Ozark Mountain Christmas. Dorothy Tabuchi and Christina Tabuchi (Select Dates Only). The theatre is located on Shepherd of the Hills Expressway in Branson, Missouri USA.

In 2009 the theater celebrates it’s 14th season of operation, presenting incredible productions to thousands of Branson visitors each year. The venue has an interesting history and has been home to many artists and shows over the years starting with the Braschler Music Show. Years before the Branson entertainment boom, a local man named Gil Elmore purchased the 14 acre parcel of land that the theater now sets on and built a small, ranch style home with a small barn and lived there for 17 years. Mr. Elmore was the Public Relations Director for the Shepherd of the Hills attraction for 29 years and also performed as Jim Lane in the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama more than 2000 times. As the town of Branson began to grow and development on Shepherd of the Hills Expressway increased, Mr. Elmore and his wife decided it was time to move. He said that during the construction of the Cascade Inn Motel next door, “the jack hammers were unbearable!” He sold the property to a Branson area developer named Jerry Crawford and his wife Dee Crawford who had big plans to develop the site.The first phase of the Crawford’s development was to construct the Victorian Village Shops, a two-story complex with office facilities and specialty stores. The Elmore’s ranch home was used as a construction office when the ground-breaking for the building of the theater began in April 1995. Mr. Crawford was a big fan of the Braschler Music Show and invited them to move from their theater on Gretna Road where they had performed for 11 years and open their show in his new theater which was then named,“The Braschler Theater”. The theater was designed with a Victorian flair to match the shopping complex next door. It was faced with brick and had four large handmade columns in the front. It originally held 696 theater seats, but some were taken out in later years to make room for an audio booth in the back of the auditorium as well as for an extension of the stage apron. An accomplished artist named Brenda Murphy was commissioned to paint the lobby with custom wall murals of colorful angels playing a horn and harp. Mrs. Crawford asked they be painted with “discerning faces.” The entire mural project was completed in 5 days.

When Kirby’s mother arrived she found him in tears about the booklet he never received. To ease his fascination, Kirby mastered simple tricks. He fondly recalls, "I discovered magic as a child, a time when you still don’t know your own limitations... I’ve never let go of that."

Stone Hill Winery is located in Hermann, Missouri, along the Missouri River, in what is called the Missouri Rhineland. It has additional facilities in Branson and New Florence. Established by German immigrants in 1847, it is the largest winery in the state. At the turn of the 20th century, Stone Hill Winery was the second-largest winery in the United States and the third-largest in the world; it produced 1,250,000 gallons in 1900. Its wine had won numerous awards in international fairs, including Vienna in 1873, Philadelphia in 1876, and St. Louis in 1904. Due to Prohibition, the winery was closed in 1920, along with virtually all others in the nation. During this time, the family earned money by using its wine cellars to grow mushrooms for sale until 1965. In 1965 the Held family made Stone Hill Winery the first in Missouri to be re-established. In 2008, wine production was 260,000 gallons. The Stone Hill winery is owned by the Held family, with the property passed down from generation to generation. It makes a full-bodied red wine from the Norton variety, as well as other reds, whites, and dessert wines. Its main building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NHRP).

The Veterans Memorial Museum in Branson, Missouri is a national tribute to the brave men and women who defended our liberties during the 20th Century. A visit to the museum is a powerful, emotional experience. As you wander the great halls of the museum you'll be captivated by the stories of these men and women who gave us so much. The museum is filled with the most incredible collection of wartime exhibits covering the heights and depths of human experience. For those who lived through these wars the memories brought back are vivid and overwhelming. For those that viewed the 20th Century wars through the prism of history, the museum is awe-inspiring. You'll be fascinated and thoroughly humbled by this memorial to our veterans. The vast array of exhibits causes reflection and creates an intense curiosity about the personal experiences of the men and women who lived in these uniforms, fired these weapons, lived as a POW, wrote these letters home, wore these medals, played this battlefield organ, flew the planes, rode the motorcycles, and served our country so well. The Veterans Memorial Museum is composed of ten great halls covering the wars and conflicts fought during the 20th Century. Circulation and viewing starts in the World War I Hall, progressing through World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and more. Each hall features dramatic and thought provoking exhibits. Sculpture, murals, historical artifacts, objects d' art, and thousands of authentic memorabilia honor all branches of the service, major battlefronts, campaigns, industrial defense, and more. The names of the men and women killed in action in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, and recent conflicts of the 20th Century are displayed on the walls of the halls. Fred Hoppe, internationally renown bronze sculptor, researched and traveled the world collecting over 2000 exhibits to be displayed in this 18,000 sq. ft. museum. Many of the exhibits have been compiled with the help of veterans and their families and include these veterans' personal stories. From the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of the Persian Gulf, from the memories of decorated combat veterans to the men and women who served on the home front, every aspect of our nations' valiant fight for freedom has been honored. The world's largest war memorial bronze sculpture (over 70 feet long, weighing 15-tons) is the hallmark of the museum and features 50 life-size statues storming a beach. The life-size figures were modeled after a combat soldier from each of the 50 states. The statue is surrounded by the names of those killed in action during WWII.
