Small-town America lives on in Branson, a vibrant family-friendly entertainment hub in southwest Missouri. With its mantra of “family, faith, friends, flag, and future,” Branson touts an active country music scene highlighting the trials and tribulations of working men and women.
Branson’s year-round population is just over 10,000. But during a 10-month active season, not including a “quieter time” in January and February, visitors flock here—8.8 million came in 2016, boosting the local economy to the tune of $2.5 billion. Despite that, overall it has retained its small-town vibe.
