Some clarification today from Branson City Hall and the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recent approval of a plan for a Centennial Museum downtown. Branson is celebrating its 100^th Birthday this year, and the White River Valley Historical Society presented P and Z with a plan last week to open a museum at the corner of Highway 76 and Business 65. Not that there was any objection, but The Board of Aldermen does not have to sign off on the plan. City officials say the museum was granted a conditional use permit for the year. The building was donated to the Centennial Committee by Branson businessman Jim Morris. A soft opening is scheduled for March first, with a grand opening a month later on April 1^st.

I can't wait, I think this will be an interesting place for the visitors and locals alike. I hope they get a lot of volunteers to assist.

Happy 100th Birthday, Branson! Although, curious what the Branson "ity" Hall is... I am bad about the grammar and spell check. I have been doing it all my life pretty much since I was in grade school for extra credit.
