Shepherd’s Adventure Park
Shepherd’s Adventure Park is Branson’s most historic attraction. Originally established in 1884 this historic property lwas the birthplace of tourism in Branson when visitors first started coming to the area after Harold Bell Wright’s best selling novel, The Shepherd of the Hills, was first published in 1907. Since that time, while preserving the history, the park has been improved to include a number of amenities for young & old alike. The Park now includes Lil Pete’s Playland, Inspiration Tower, Barnyard animals, miniature golf, kids obstacle course, Play Barn, tree houses & of course Ike’s Post Office, Old Matt’s Cabin. With Morgan Chapel, you can take time to sit and reflect on what first brought millions into this area in the first place. New in 2024: Tree Top Sky Trail and a Mega-Tube Slide. Where history is a great adventure!
The Adventure Park is also home to our seasonal events; SpringFest, PumpkinFest, North Pole Adventure & all new in 2024 Great American Summer!
Visit: The Shepherd of the Hills, 5586 W 76 Country Blvd, Branson, MO 65616-8129
Before the lights and the glitz and glamour, a shepherd walked these hills.
Weary and spent, the shepherd paused in the Ozark mountains and as he sought healing in the fresh, clean air of the hills, he compiled notes for a novel that would become an incredible impact on the United States.
This shepherd, a modest preacher named Harold Bell Wright, began to love the simple, country folk of the Ozarks. He especially connected with John and Anna Ross who would become the inspiration for Old Matt and Aunt Mollie Matthews, who play a key role in The Shepherd of the Hills. Wright would often camp outside their homestead, sit on the lookout mentioned in the book, and dream up the story of joy and sorrow, hardship and love, violence and restoration, that would become the first novel to sell one million copies in the United States. Wright dedicated his novel to his wife with the following lines which demonstrate his strong connection to the Ozark hills.
