Enjoy a flash in time at the Dixie Stampede, where the confederate army and the union are once again at war.

Dixie Stampede also offers an alternative vegetarian feast. At Christmas, Dixie Stampede offers falling snow, a beautiful and touching nativity scene and even a visit from Santa and his elves.
Jump back into history when you bring your entire family to enjoy Shepherd of the Hills, the birthplace of Branson tourism. Shepherd of the Hills is based on a best-selling book by Harold Bell-Wright written in 1907. The book went on to spark a nationwide interest when John Wayne starred in just one of its movie versions in his first color film. The attraction features Inspiration Tower, where you'll receive a bird's eye view of Branson's splendor, as well as a guided tour of Old Matt's Cabin, the original home of the book's main characters. Enjoy the Sons of Pioneers Dinner Show as well as outdoor drama shows and horseback tours of the property. Finally, bring the family back at Christmas to enjoy the famous Trail of Lights, a drive-through animation display, as well as the Christmas on the Trail Chuckwagon Dinner Show.
