Titanic Proportions
The Legend Lives On At The World's Largest Museum Attraction By Ron Marr For the uninitiated, Branson, Missouri, is considered the “Nashville of the Ozarks.” It's a label justifiably earned, as this once-small town – barely an eye-blink on the map in the early 1960s – now attracts more than seven million visitors per year.
