Song of Hope Museum to Open in Branson on May 6th

Marshall Howden, founder of the Song of Hope Historical Society, announces via a press release that the Song of Hope Museum will open this Saturday, May 6, 2023, at 1:00pm.

The Song of Hope Museum is located at the Coffelt Country Craft Village on Hwy. 165 just south of the Baldknobbers’ Branson Famous Theater. The Museum is open from 4:00pm to 8:00pm daily, closed on Tuesdays. Admission to the Song of Hope Museum is free.

Song of Hope Museum features the world’s largest collection of brochures and rack cards from Branson’s live shows and attractions. Exhibits include unique pieces of live show history, various artifacts including signs, instruments, advertising materials, and memorabilia from the stars of Branson. There will also be special events, exhibits, and meet & greets, held at the museum.

The first special event is a “pop-up” museum annex featuring the “Branson Boom Exhibition” providing the history of Branson’s Live Music Shows rise to national fame. The “Branson Boom Exhibition” was created by publisher and photographer Michael London of Branson Update Magazine, a tour and trade publication. London says, “I’m so thankful Marshall has chosen to bring my life’s work to the Branson community. As a tour trade publication, many in the local community have never seen this special live action show photography…plus, this exhibition is a tribute to all the entertainers and people that supported the boom of the live music show business in Branson.”  The “Branson Boom Exhibition” will “pop-up” Saturday, May 6 at 1:00pm and be on display through May 27. Hours are 4:00pm to 8:00pm, Sunday thru Friday (closed on Tuesdays) and 1:00pm to 8:00pm on Saturday. Admission to the “Branson Boom Exhibition” is free.

The Song of Hope Museum is the newest endeavor of the Song of Hope Historical Society, a non-profit whose mission is to preserve the history of Branson’s Live Music Show industry while assisting its advancement into the future. The Song of Hope organization was started by Branson Alderman Marshall Howden, grandson of country music legend and Branson pioneer, Mel Tillis. Howden says, “This museum is one of my lifelong dreams come true. I loved growing up on stage as part of Branson’s live music show industry. I want do whatever I can to preserve the live music shows’ past and advance its future.”
