veterans memorial museum

A wide range of items from many different wars that U.S. soldiers have fought in. My 83-year-old father, who'd been in the National Guard, really enjoyed it. Brought back lots of memories, and it was great seeing my sons excited about his stories. A little pricey, but we enjoyed it.

We have been to Branson several times and are sorry that we did not visit this museum sooner. A wonderful collection of military items for all of the wars and conflicts. It was a very moving experience.

Great learning environment for young and old. Respectful and accurate display of our military. Would recommend this museum to everyone.

When visiting on our last Branson trip, we happened uipon Branson's Veterans War Memorial. There is a charge to visit. Each area is devoted to a different war. Names of the deceased from each war are listed. The museum houses "the world's largest bronze war statue which features 50 life-sized statues storming a beach. Each is representing different individuals one from each of the 50 states. Take time to study this huge statue. Each individual soldier shows different expressions. Even the combat boots are different sizes and in different positions of movement as if stopped in time. At the end, there is a gift shop where authentic pins and metals are sold. My husband was able to purchase a pin like one he had when he had been in the Army. It is a treasure to him, and as it brought back memories, it made the visit priceless. There is a movement to put Veteran status on driver licenses. If this is passed, then I feel that all military personnel, present and past, should be admitted to this memorial for free.

My husband and I visited Branson in January, so there were not very many musical "shows" to choose from. (Most take a break in January and February during their slow season.) My husband is a Veteran, so we decided to stop at the Veteran's Memorial Museum and check it out. I am so happy that we did. We wandered through room after room of display cases full of military memorabilia from the various wars we have been involved in. The families of our nation's heroes have donated many of the items from their loved ones who gave their lives defending our great country. Very sobering, yet inspirational. A great way to spend a few hours in Branson. We left feeling very patriotic and proud to be Americans, and we learned a lot about our history.

We visited in Oct, and could not have been more humbled. This museum is one of the best that we have ever been to. The pride and respect that this museum shows is simply beyond belief.The vast amount of artifacts and the attention to detail makes this one of the best military museums in the country. our thanks and appreciattion to everone responsible.

This museum is clean and arranged neatly. Lists of deceased veterans, uniforms, weapons, and pictures, along with other exhibits are present. It offers a military discount. It is a good military museum for a town a this size.

The most comprehensive collection of military exhibits I have ever seen. I am a US Army Veteran, and the visit was one of very great emotion and pride. A must visit when in Branson, MO.

We were impressed with the vast amount of information, personal stories and artifacts that were very nicely organized and displayed into several galleries. It was a learning experience and so much appreciated by my family, including a young son who loves his country. Other visitors blew through the galleries quickly while we were there, but we took our time to really learn about the veterans and feel that they deserve that… that being said, there is SOOOO much, you couldn't see it all in a day. Beautifully done, impressive.

Good collection and friendly staff. Would definitely go again. We didn't have the kids with us when we went, but we look forward to taking them back with us.

I have a grandpa was in world war 2 and a uncle in vitierem war. It is a good place to learn about the war.

A nice collection of war memorabilia spanning several conflicts. Not only displayed nicely but if you want to take your time and read, you can spend a lot of time here. Very interesting. There is also a little gift shop with military related items. All very nice and well kept.

My husband is former military and is always interested in going through military museums; therefore, we have been through quite a few -- small and large. This was a well done presentation, focusing more on the participants than the equipment. The personal stories were very interesting, including the history of the museum itself.The most dramatic thing was the life-size bronze sculpture that features 50 soldiers storming a beach. The faces were actually modeled after a combat soldier from each of the 50 states.Well worth the time and price.

What a great couple of hours. Our kids really enjoyed looking at all the memorabilia. The wall of names is awesome! The sculpture is amazing. Definitely worth stopping.

Although small the museum is very complete. Great exhibits and wonderful history. I highly recommend this museum to everyone.
