So many items on display! This museum was very well done. As a veteran, I could spend hours and hours perusing through the generations of memorabilia from WWI through the most recent wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Amazing. More people should come and appreciate the sacrifices of our service men. Staff was friendly and it was very well kept. Took you back in time to what our military went through from World War One and on.

Husband and I thought we’d take a few days of Vaca up to Branson, MO to go bust, see and do some things. On Sunday, July 2nd, 2023 we decided to go visit the Veteran’s Memorial Museum, it’s always a fave on our list. They definitely have updated and upgraded since last we visited. We are a Military Family on both sides of our Family and our oldest Son served our great Country for near 10 years! If you LOVE OUR MILITARY MEN/WOMEN AND OUR COUNTRY THIS IS A MUST TO VISIT on your trip to Branson, MO! It NEVER DISAPPOINTS! We appreciate ALL THE MEMORABILIA to look at, to read and see and to those who have selflessly donated to any and ALL VETERAN’S MUSEUMS for without these resources and contributions people like us wouldn’t be able to go back in time and see the heartbreak of the Wars, see the incredible sacrifices made from the beginning then up to now, see how situations and circumstances have altered and changed History and this World we live in. Please go pay your respects to the Past, Present and Future. Please go understand the intricacies and difficulties of the Wars that has happened and many have experienced. Let it soak in, let in change you, let it melt your heart and give many thanks to our Military Service Members and Veteran’s and for the POW’S who are still missing and to the One’s who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Again, it’s a privilege to be able to see and take in all of these things. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

This veterans museum covers the period from WWII to the present. Many names on the wall, mostly alphabetical. I had a bit of hard time finding my uncle's name but I did find it.

This is a great experience! I learned many things regarding WWII and Vietnam during our visit! This is a self-paced walk-through exhibit. The photos and exhibits are amazing. Who knew there were "gas masks" for babies? Fold out preacher's pulpit and organ are on display. There is one room completely covered in pennies in remembrance for each military member to perish in WWII. There are unique items you may not expect. Soda/pop cans from Desert Shield/Desert Storm brought back memories for me as I drank from such cans while in Saudi Arabia during that time. We really enjoyed the thoughtful and reverent manner these items are displayed. There is the USAF uniform from Boxcar Willie's days in the Air Force. Did you know he owned a theatre in Branson?

There is so much to see here that we spent two different days strolling through the museum. Very touching to see all of the names on the wall from each of our US Wars.
