There is no room for boredom in Branson! But if you find yourself looking for unusual, out-of-this-world things, visit the Ripley’s Believe it Or Not Museum in Branson.
The Ripley’s Believe it Or Not did not start as how it is today. Robert Ripley is originally a famous person in the world because of his craft during the early part of the 20th century. He was an artist and a cartoonist. If you are wondering how “Believe it Or Not” came to be, it was the name of a sports cartoon. The sports cartoon was so famous that it gave him the opportunity to travel around the world.
When Robert Ripley travelled around the world, he started collecting unique and odd things and items. And every place he goes to, he never fails to find something. He had a growing collection in his hands already. Thus, he established a museum in Branson, Missouri to hold some of his collection and opened it to the public so that people would find them amazing just as how he did.
The Ripley’s Believe it Or Not Museum is housed by a unique building. The building has a story of its own and there is also something odd about it. The building is like the ruins of a once beautiful and strong one. It is a reflection of a massive earthquake that hit Missouri in the year 1812. This earthquake caused the Mississippi River to run backwards for three days and made the church bells in Philadelphia ring. Robert had definitely found a way to display his unique finds in this eye-catching building.
