Wintertime might be the most peaceful time of the year. A winter stroll usually means quiet, fewer crowds, and the silence of nature. Or, if we prefer staying toasty, we just can curl up with a good book and a hot drink on a snowy winter day. When you’re craving adventure, you’ll find plenty of it all winter long in this small town in Missouri.
Branson’s known for its many attractions that draw millions of visitors summer after summer. Even after summer’s tourists have gone home, this vibrant town of just over 12,800 comes alive.
