Branson at a Glance Spotlight

The Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Museum is now open in Branson, Missouri.
Here's a quote from Roy "Dusty" Rogers Jr., Dale and Roy's son, the creator of the museum -

"Welcome to The Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Museum. We've had a lifetime of Happy Trails full of love, laughter, and sometimes sorrow. Everything we've ever done is right here for everyone to see. For nearly as long as I can remember, I thought about having a museum. I've always liked to save things. No matter what came my way, whether it was a letter from a boy or girl movie fan or from a President, or a nice shotgun or an old-time telephone, I stuck it in the basement, or the garage, or in drawers at home. Dale would say, "Honey, when are you going to empty those drawers?" I'd put everything in a box and call the van & storage company to come pick it up and keep it for me."

This museum is a great addition to Branson and a must see on your next Branson vacation!! It even has a huge status of Trigger in-front so you can't miss it.
