The area is also served by a number of private physicians, dental offices, optometrists, counselors and many more health care providers.
Cox Medical Center Branson is conveniently located at 251 Skaggs Road in Branson, near the intersection of US Highway 65 and Missouri Highway 248. The 165-bed hospital first opened its doors as a community hospital. Over the years, it has grown in size and scope of services provided to the Branson Tri-Lakes area.
In January 2013, formerly known as Skaggs Regional Health Center partnered with Cox Health Center. The Cox Medical Center Branson campus includes the hospital, outpatient center, cancer center, helicopter landing pad, urgent care clinic and medical office plaza. Since the merger, Cox Medical Center Branson has hired additional physicians. A new 60,000 squarefoot emergency department and critical care unit was recently opened to better facilitate the needs of residents and visitors to Branson. “This project will allow us
to meet growing ER and CCU needs for years to come,” said William Mahoney, president of Cox Medical Center Branson. Cox Medical Center Branson provides excellent patient care at both the hospital and its numerous clinics throughout the area. Cox Medical Center Branson also operates a state-of-the-art fitness center located at the Branson RecPlex. The local health care clinics serve the area’s uninsured population and leads a collaborative community effort (Ozarks Wellness Network, or “OWN It!”) of more than 40 nonprofit organizations alongside the Taney County
Health Department, which is focused on making a impact on three of the most significant health and wellness concerns facing residents of Taney and Stone counties – including tobacco use, obesity and family safety. Mercy Hospital, which is located in Springfield, operates four general practice and specialty clinics throughout the Branson Tri-Lakes area. The clinics offer services in internal and family care, orthopedics, cancer and spine care, urology, audiology, dermatology, plastic surgery and urgent care services. In 2013, Mercy announced its intentions to build a large clinic near the intersection of US Highway 65 and Missouri Highway 248 as a means of providing enhanced health care services to the community.
The purposed 62,000 square-foot, two-story facility will increase the number of primary care physicians in the area, as well as house an urgent care clinic, full-service pharmacy, imaging and surgery center. “When we see a need for care, we act,” said Jon Swope, President and CEO of Mercy.

Real Estate Residential Market is on the Rise Along with much of the nation, the Branson real estate market has started to see increase in activity in recent years with more new construction starting throughout the area and available inventory being sold. As was noted in the 2013 Branson Commercial Real Estate Report, a service of Commercial 1 Brokers, LLC, “The residential markets in Stone and Taney counties continued to rebound in 2012.” Jerry Jeschke, of J. Jeschke Appraisal and a contributor to the report, pointed out that the majority of residential home sales represented properties with selling prices below $200,000.
The sale of condominiums in the area has struggled, as federal regulations tightened on financing for properties located in developments with nightly rentals. Such properties are still great options for more liquid part-time residents or individuals interested in vacation homes, though lending and down-payment requirements are not favorable for first-time home buyers looking for condominiums. Fortunately for first-time homebuyers, there are still great homes at affordable prices in the area, with the median value of owner occupied housing units in 2011 at a little more than $136,000.
Turtle Creek Apartments “Overall, the improved residential market had a good year,” said Jeschke. “Single family residential property prices appear to have found their bottom but are not yet increasing. Based on statistics from the past three years, we expect 2013 to be another good year for the residential housing markets in the Tri-Lakes Area.”

People who move to Branson say that the friendliness of the people they encounter is an important factor in their decision making.
“The community is small enough to have a neighborly feeling, but we have a lot of the amenities of a bigger community,” said Mayor Raeanne Presley. Mayor Presley is part of one of the founding families of Branson’s entertainment industry. The family opened Presley’s Country Jubilee more than 40 years ago. “We raised three children here, and they all went to Branson schools,” Presley said.
The Branson school district has had great leadership over the years. The planning and new updated campuses have kept pace with the growth in their number of students. Community support has helped in building the best facilities along with the guidance and leadership of dedicated administrators and school board members. Parents take an active role in many school events and entire families participate in community functions.
There are plenty of things for families to enjoy together – from hiking local nature trails to enjoying time at the lakes to taking a dip in the pool or shooting baskets at the Branson RecPlex. Branson residents and visitors alike can feel comfortable taking children of all ages to any of the

The schools are amazing, and so are the programs for infants and toddlers – like Parents as Teachers and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. With amazing support systems in the nonprofit community, from local churches and within groups like Mothers of Preschoolers and the National Institute of Marriage, Branson is a great place to not only raise kids, but to be a parent and a couple.”
“With two young kids, we are never without something to do and we don’t have to break the bank to get them involved in the community,” said Autumn Porter, a Branson resident. “My kids have always enjoyed ‘talking’ to the horses in their stable stalls at Dixie Stampede, feeding fish at the trout hatchery or ducks at the Branson Landing, playing in the creek or the lakes, riding bicycles and playing at the wonderful local parks. They love going to the water parks or Silver Dollar City, but it’s the simple, inexpensive and readily available activities that have become traditions for us.
“Beyond the available activities in the area, Porter continued, that it’s the atmosphere and spirit of the community that makes Branson a great place to raise a family. “What I appreciate most about living in Branson is that I never doubt that my children – and our family – are genuinely cared for.”

In the article, author Rodney Brooks noted that the five cities, including Branson, “All offer the things that retirees want when they start looking for a place to spend their golden years.” According to Annette Fuller, managing editor of Where to Retire magazine, the factors that matter most to retirees include:
◆ Low cost of living ◆ Affordable housing ◆ Favorable tax situations ◆ Low crime rates ◆ An active entertainment, recreational and/or cultural environment ◆ Good medical facilities, and ◆ A wide range of activities and opportunities for remaining fit and healthy.
Branson easily fits those criteria with endless opportunities for outdoor activities, entertainment, dining and the expansion of health care services in the area. As quoted in the USA Today article, Dustin Hall, co-owner of Sunset Realty Services in Branson, says taxes are low and home prices are inexpensive. “You can get a three-bedroom, two-bath, for under $150,000,” said
Page 20 | 2015 COMMUNITY GUIDE
Hall. “You can get into something a little nicer for less than $250,000. Or you can buy a two-bedroom condo for less than $100,000.”
In a similar article in Where to Retire in its March/April 2007 issue, editor Mary Lu Abbott featured Branson as a top retirement spot. According to Abbott, Branson appeals to a wide range of interest among retirees. “Nestled
Area senior centers maintain full schedules of personal enrichment and social activities and events, as well as offer low-cost daily meals. The Branson Senior Center, located at 201 Compton Drive, sits adjacent to the city’s par 3 golf course and schedules daily, weekly and monthly activities such as Wii bowling, oil painting and wood carving classes, ballroom dancing lessons and quilting clubs. With this much activity, your retirement years could easily become your busiest and most active.
History of the Area or more than 100 years, Branson and the TriLakes area has been attracting visitors to the Ozarks, lured by natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities.
F
Marvel Cave & Silver Dollar City First called “Marble Cave” because its limestone walls were thought to be marble, Marvel Cave was the first attraction to draw visitors to the area. The cave was featured in Scientific American magazine in 1885, which caused word of the natural wonder to spread throughout the continent. Canadian mining expert William Henry Lynch purchased it sight unseen, traveled to the Ozarks with his two daughters, and opened the cave for public tours in 1894. Decades later, the Herschend family purchased the property and, in 1960, opened a small, old-time Ozarks village attraction atop Marvel Cave. They called it Silver Dollar City and offered an 1880s steam train ride, demonstrating craftsmen, themed shops and music for guests waiting to tour the cave. By 1963, Silver Dollar City was Missouri’s top tourist attraction. Harold Bell Wright & The Shepherd of the Hills Minister Harold Bell Wright traveled to the Ozarks in 1898 seeking a
Downtown Branson more suitable climate for his failing health. He stayed at the homestead of John and Anna Ross, whom Wright later immortalized as the characters Old Matt and Aunt Mollie in his best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” Published in 1907, the book told the story of the self-reliant and stoic hill people he encountered in the area. The book was a huge success, selling millions of copies in several languages, and becoming the basis for four movies including a 1941 version starring John Wayne. Following the publication of The Shepherd of the Hills, an increase in
visitors to the area brought many to the Ross homestead. The Rosses eventually sold their homestead to Lizzie McDaniel of Springfield, who began presenting the very first dramatization of Wright’s story, right on the front lawn. Years later, Dr. Bruce Trimble and his wife, Mary, began staging an outdoor pageant based on the best-selling novel on the property in 1959. Under the family’s leadership the production grew into one of the nation’s most popular outdoor historical dramas. In the late 1980s, new owners Gary Snadon (school teacher and
former cast member of the outdoor drama) along with his wife, Pat, added the 230-foot tall inspiration tower and had the Morgan County Church relocated to the Homestead. Today, the Shepherd of the Hills is the longestrunning outdoor drama in the world and boasts a cast of more than 80 actors, dozens of animals, pyrotechnical displays and authentic props and sets. Western music legends, The Sons of the Pioneers, perform in a chuckwagon dinner show on the Homestead grounds.

History cont. from 21
The Lakes When Ozark Beach Dam (also called Powersite Dam) was built in 1913 near Forsyth, Lake Taneycomo was created. The area became a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who came to fish, boat, swim, hunt and enjoy the rugged beauty of the Ozark Mountains. Travelers flocked to the Ozarks on the newly built White River Line railroad that stopped in the neighboring town of Hollister.
In 1959, the area was changed forever with the completion of Table Rock Dam. This brought much needed power to the area, spurring the growth of many area businesses. The cold water from the bottom of Table Rock Lake that was now flowing into Lake Taneycomo changed it into one of the country’s most popular trout fishing lakes.
A Tradition of Live Music In 1959, the Mabe brothers began performing in a converted roller skating rink on the Lake Taneycomo waterfront in downtown Branson. The brothers combined popular country tunes and Ozark Mountain music with a dash of comedy to entertain audiences. Calling themselves “The Baldknobbers,” the brothers, built a theater on Highway 76 in 1969, making their act the longest continuously running show in Branson today. In 1963, the Presley family began a music show at The Underground Theater near Talking Rocks Cavern in Kimberling City with special guests from “Ozark Jubilee,” including Red Foley, a legendary country singer. Presley’s Country Jubilee made history in 1967 when the
Branson Bridge family built the first music theater on Highway 76.
During the 1970s and 1980s, more nationally known entertainers such as Roy Clark, Box Car Willie, Mel Tillis, Jim Stafford and Ray Stevens began performing in Branson. In coming years, several national stars established roots in Branson and, along with local celebrities, built the theaters that formed Branson’s live music show foundation. When a segment about Branson aired on the popular “60 Minutes” TV show on December 8, 1991, it proclaimed Branson the “live music capital of the entire universe.” This created a turning-point for the area as an influx of performers, visitors, developers and new residents flocked to see what was going on in the Branson/Lakes Area. The City of Branson and Taney County undertook major infrastructure projects in the 1990s to accommodate the influx of new visitors and residents. Since that time, the City has invested more than $50 million in road improvements, making it easier to get around town.
Other recent developments in Branson included: ◆ The $420 million, 95-acre Branson Landing waterfront retail shopping, dining, luxury lodging, marinas and nightlife development along Lake Taneycomo; ◆ The multi-million dollar Titanic Museum Attraction, towering 100’ over Highway 76, with a permanent collection of 400 items and interactive displays; ◆ The state-of-the-art Branson Convention Center and adjoining 12-story Hilton Hotel; ◆ The 3,000-seat Sight & Sound Theatres, which is Branson’s largest theater; and ◆ The new Branson Airport, providing convenient jet service for visitors from across the United States – including national flights aboard Buzz Airways, Elite Airways and Orange Air. * Source: Branson Centennial Celebration website (www.Branson100.org)

Maps on getting around the area ue to Branson’s popularity as a “driving destination” for visitors and its widespread land area D which can often involve navigating around lakes to
get from one destination to the next, the City of Branson has invested more than $50 million over the past several years building new streets and improving others. Additionally, the Missouri Department of Transportation has partnered with the city on several road projects, as well as completing other major projects to improve traffic flow.
Branson lies at the intersection of U.S. Highway 65 and Missouri Highway 76. U.S. Highway 65 is a major northsouth four-lane highway that runs through the city providing a connecting corridor from Minnesota to Louisiana. Missouri Highway 76 is a three-lane roadway that provides the primary east-west artery across Taney County. A five mile stretch of Missouri Highway 76 is
often referred to as “The Strip” or “Country Music Boulevard” – where many shows, attractions, shopping and restaurants are located. As a result, this portion of Missouri Highway 76 often sees the greatest amount of traffic congestion in the area. In efforts to alleviate this issue, the City of Branson invested a great deal of resources in providing drivers with alternate routes that lead motorists to major destinations within the city. These alternate routes are referred to as the Red Route, Yellow Route and Blue Route and can be easily accessed at the signalized intersections: ◆ Fall Creek Road ◆ Missouri Highway 248/Shepherd of the Hills Expressway ◆ Missouri Highway 165/Gretna Road

Residents and visitors will find that local libraries have long and rich histories throughout the Taney and Stone County communities. The Taneyhills Community Library
in Branson was founded by volunteers in 1933 with little more than some donated books and a spare room at the nearby Branson Hotel. This library remains funded solely through contributions and fundraising efforts such as special events and proceeds from its book store and thrift shop – never accepting federal, state or local tax dollars! The current library facility is located at the intersection of Fourth Street and Pacific Street in downtown Branson. Locals and visitors to the area are invited to take advantage of the genealogy, census and cemetery records, use the free wi-fi or take part in a number of different activities and events – including the library’s popular “Milk & Cookies” early childhood reading program and Summer Reading Program for school-age children.
Like the Taneyhills Community Library, both the Forsyth Library and Kimberling Area Library are privately funded operations, relying solely on contributions. The Stone County Library, with locations in Galena and Crane, is the area’s only public library system. Taney County Libraries
