Branson Historic Jail

The historic 2-cell stone jail was built in 1923, around the time that Joe Grisby and Otto Peach built the local pool hall. Local lore has it that the jail only ever held two residents--drunken men whose wives came and busted the locks to break them out of jail. Located at the end of the street at the top of the hill, the jail was highly visible. Today it offers great views of the vast rolling landscape surrounding Branson. Picnic tables at the overlook make for a great lunch spot.
