Shepherd of the Hills http://theshepherdofthehills.com/ About what this is.... “The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Play” shares the story of Harold Bell Wright’s famed novel of life in the Ozarks’ hills of Branson, Missouri! Being the Branson area’s only ongoing theater drama is just one of many unique aspects of this fascinating production. Since first opening in 1959, guests have enjoyed this action-packed tale that’s also an incredibly sweet love story with a timeless moral message. Every evening, more than 90 actors and actresses, and a cast of animals that includes, horses, donkeys, mules, and sheep present this epic tale in an amphitheater under nature’s roof of stars! Audiences will witness gun fights, fist fights, and even the burning of a cabin thanks to the magic of special effects. Performers in “The Shepherd of the Hills” are often local artists, many of whom grew up watching their own families and neighbors playing the very same roles! This unusual experience is just another special feature that sets the play apart from the glitz and glamour of Branson’s entertainment scene. Audience members are even invited to join everyone on stage to square dance during intermission! Take advantage of this amazing opportunity to see something not easily found elsewhere...”The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Play” is that something different you’ve looked for to entertain the entire family! Read the Book, Take the tour, Experience the Drama! |

The Ozarks
The “Ozarks” is a region located in the central part of the United States and extends from northeastern Oklahoma and southwest Kansas, through northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, to southwest Illinois. The Ozark Mountains, and area surrounding, offer many splendors of a rugged, beautiful, and romantic land. These hills are home to a people defined by a region. Years ago they attracted people that were desperate, independent, and foolish. The French, British, Irish and even Germans immigrated to the area by the scores during the 18th and 19th centuries. The foolish did not survive and the independent flourished in this vast untamed region. Life in the area was centered around “the mill.” The mill was a place of social gathering while getting their grain ground into flour. Folks in the area would trade stories, barter goods and services, get haircuts, and even get married at the mill. Once in awhile they might even have a few spirits while visiting. A life that was somewhat simplistic and romantic, yet very difficult and dangerous. Danger existed in the area because of a lack of law, as did many areas of the 19th century. During the Civil War, or War of Northern Aggression, Missouri was a border state and was hard hit by neighbor vs. neighbor fighting that continued after the war all across the state. Both sides still had strong party ties which made it impossible to bring the criminal actions under control. Because of this unruliness, there was a group of men that came together to protect life and property, aiding law enforcement officials in the apprehension of criminals, opposing corruption in local government, and punishing those who violated the social and religious morels of their community. They were the Baldknobbers. For the most part the Baldknobbers had sided with the North during the Civil War. Their main purpose in the beginning was to put an end to the gangs causing violence in the area in and around the Ozarks. They were known by their hoods with horns, a depiction that evolved as the group expanded into counties neighboring Taney County, where the group originated. Like most vigilante groups of the time, they began with good intentions, but soon transformed into a lawless group. Between 1865 and 1885, there were 40 murders in Taney County alone without a single suspect. Join us on our trip as we set out to investigate, and relive a moment in time from a hundred plus years ago. What would Sarah and the girls say? | ||||||||
