Branson attractions like Silver Dollar City, White Water and Ride the Ducks are also a great way to experience Branson and see sights that are truly beautiful.

During June, there are several special events happening, including events that celebrate dear old dad. At the Titanic Museum, they are hosting a Titanic Father’s Day Boat Show on June 20 & 21. This free event will feature numerous boats including pontoon fishing boats by Tracker. A trip to the Titanic Museum might also float dad’s boat, so be sure to make time to tour the more than 400 artifacts located at the museum.

Other attraction Dad might like include the ’57 Heaven Museum, which showcases automobiles from 1957, complete with lifestyle exhibits to really bring the culture of ’57 home. Neal McCoy is also performing in Branson during the month of June and will showcase his Top 20 songs, such as “No Doubt About It,” “Wink,” “ The Shake,” and “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On.” If Dad is a big Beatles fan, then he’ll love The Liverpool Legends. Their two hour show pays tribute to The Beatles and is produced by Louise Harrison, the sister of George Harrison. If a taste of the islands is needed, head over to Island Fire at the Dutton Theater, where Samoans perform traditional dances and create fiery entertainment, all served with a delicious Polynesian inspired meal.

'57 Heaven Museum Gearing Up to Sell Collection of Cars

The golden days of 1957 have been over for quite some time now, but in Branson, they have been alive & well for the past three years. ’57 Heaven Museum, located at the Dick Clark American Bandstand Theater, has been home to a plethora of 1957 automobiles, all paying homage to an era that is trademarked by poodle skirts, sock hops and soda fountains. However, the owner of the ’57 Heaven Museum, Glenn Patch, has decided to sell his vintage car collection, citing the economy as his main reason for liquidating his collection. He is quoted, in an excerpt from the LA Times, as saying “If it weren’t for the economy, I wouldn’t be selling.”

A total of 66 cars filled the museum, which was located on the ground floor of the Dick Clark American Bandstand Theater. Patch would like to sell the collection as one piece, but many doubt that is a possibility. Currently, the car collection and contents of the museum are being sold for $17 million.

The museum is still open for the time being, operating Monday - Saturday, from 9am - 5pm. Visit the 30,000 sq ft museum now for a look at vintage America, because soon it will be gone, just like the days of 1957.
