When people think of attractions in Branson, Missouri, they think of the likes of Silver Dollar City or Whitewater. While these are fun destinations, historic downtown Branson also has a lot to offer visitors. It is situated on the shores of Lake Taneycomo known for trout fishing, so you can spend your day relaxing or fishing at the lake.

As you stroll down Main Street, with its Victorian lamps and old-fashioned storefronts, you have your choice of several retail stores and restaurants to choose from. For history buffs, there is the Branson History Museum and guided or self-guided historic walking tours with nineteen historic stops. You can also take the free historic trolleys through downtown Branson. For a bit of railroad history, you can go to the historic railroad depot on Main Street to take the Branson Scenic Railway for a jaunt to the countryside, enjoying its authentic 1950s luxury passenger cars. So, if you want an alternative to the ever popular theme parks in the Branson area, don’t forget the historic Branson for its nature, history and charm!
