Rockettes Revisited: Free 'Tuesday Talk' scheduled at Branson Centennial Museum July 19

Submitted to Branson Globe

Branson Centennial Museum, 120 S. Commercial Street in Branson, invites the public to the next event in its Tuesday Talk series. On July 19 at 12:30 p.m., the topic will be “Radio City Rockettes Remembered,” presented by long-time Silver Dollar City publicist Lisa Rau, along with former Rockette performer and company manager Reneé Johnson.

Many area residents and visitors will recall fondly the Rockettes’ years in Branson, 1994 to 2003, as their history-making production helped put Branson at the top of Christmas celebrations nationwide. You don’t want to miss this special opportunity for a behind-the-scenes look!

The Branson Centennial Museum is a project of the White River Valley Historical Society, dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting the cultural history of this area. Learn more, including how to become a member, at www.wrvhs.org, or by emailing info@wrvhs.org or following Branson Centennial Museum on Facebook. Also, include a stop at the museum in your schedule, to see rotating exhibits about different parts of Branson history and the impact of the White River on the development of the entire area.

You’ll also want to mark your calendar now for the next Tuesday Talk, August 16 at 12:30 p.m., when Sherry Herschend of Silver Dollar City/ Herschend Family Entertainment will share “Memories of the Ozarks.” These FREE talks are a wonderful opportunity to learn the stories behind many iconic Branson area landmarks and attractions, as well as to make or renew friendships with other people who love history.
