#1 in America! Not only is Shepherd’s Adventure Park Branson’s most historic attraction it’s the 3 time winner of USA Today’s #1 Adventure Park in America. Originally established in 1884 this historic property was 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 & Morgan Chapel. New in 2024: Tree Top Sky Trail & 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!

The Shepherd of the Hills, Branson, Missouri, United States

  • The Shepherd of the Hills, Branson, Missouri, United States
    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.

Let me start off by saying this portion of the park has great potential but you can tell it doesn't get much attention from the staff. We approached the gate to enter the homestead but are unable to purchase tickets there. We then had to walk back inside to purchase tickets. I was then overcharged for the combo ticket that was advertised on the booth outside for $12. After bringing it to the attention of the girl who rang me up, she argued with me stating that the price has been increased. After a bit of discussion she processed a return and gave me the price that was advertised outside, with quite a bit of an attitude. We were not given any direction on where activities were located once inside the homestead section, though there are signs it's a bit confusing. Our combo ticket included a small bag of mining dirt but we were sent all over the park before anyone could give us a clear answer on where to pick it up. The girl working the booth on the other side of the park was unsure of how many bags to give us even though we purchased 4 combo tickets. The mini golf had debris all over the course and our balls got stuck a few times in some of the obstacles. My boys were pretty disappointed at conditions of this side of the park.The staff and experience at the ropes course set a very high standard but the rest of the staff and park fell way short. We would not visit the homestead again.

The tour we took around the Old Homestead property was very interesting because of our guide Rad. He shares so many facts not only about the book but the history of the area. Our only regret was that after listening to him, we didn’t have time to add the play to our itinerary. If we are ever on the area again we’ll certainly make time for it. We went up to the top of Inspiration tower and saw a beautiful birds eye view of the hills. Definitely take time to visit this place and if you’re lucky Rad will be your guide!

The best thing about our tour was our guide, Rad. It was obvious he had a love for The Shepherd of the Hills homestead. He had so many interesting stories to tell us about The Homestead and its history. One could almost envision living there and being part of all the goinings-on. We were glad we took the tour before we went to the outdoor drama later the same day.
