My wife and I really enjoyed the downtown area. The shops, restaurants and attractions are really well done. Moreover, we ate in one restaurant and I was mildly surprised at how reasonable the prices were for such a fantastic location. Truly a must see when you go to Branson. See more..

Hall Street, placed on the National Historic Register in 1979, is home to an incomparable inventory of magnificent mansions. Known locally as "mansion row" or "millionaire's row," Hall Street housed some of the wealthiest residents of Old Saint Jo, a town that boasted the highest per-capita income in the United States during the Victorian gilded age. It's not hard to imagine the horse-drawn carriages and splendid social events that graced this street in its heyday.Today, Hall Street is enjoying an amazing renaissance, as the ravages of time are reversed by a few enterprising owners.

It includes more than 45 artisan-crafted stained-glass windows, each one original to the building and each one a phenomenon of brilliance and design. This home is open for tours by appointment, and is well worth a visit.

The imposing Italianate façade is complemented by extensive ironwork roof ornamentation, and within the 3-1/2 storey mansion you’ll find frescoed plaster ceilings, expansive mosaic t...See more..

These were some of the most beautiful homes in there day. It was so sad to see so many of them falling into disrepair. But many are still glorious and have been beautifully restored. No one can afford those big old houses anymore or I think many would he redone. Definitely worth driving around.See more..
This is a small town that still has a downtown. It is worth a few minutes to stop the car, walk the streets and look in the windows. Like many small towns it is not a vibrant as it once was however you will still enjoy.See more..
