Experience history on this one hour long tour through several sites at The Shepherd of the Hills. You will be transported by a Jeep-drawn tram by a local guide. This is a fun family daytime experience while visiting Branson.

John was an incredible guide and very, very knowledgeable not only because his family has been involved in Shepherd of the Hills for so long, but because he has done a lot of research on his own as well. His knowledge of the book and the history of the area really helped you get a feel for what it must have been like for Harold Bell Wright at the time he wrote the story. The views from the spot where Mr. Wright camped and penned his story were spectacular! We could see 65 miles and into Arkansas from there and it was beautiful! We had never been to Shepherd of the Hills before on our many trips to the Ozarks before and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits this neck of the woods!

Cowboy John's family has been connected with the Shepherd of the Hills story for generations. It was awesome to have first hands a account of the story

Our tour guide, John Fullerton, was the most knowledgeable and fun guide ever! Partly due to generations of his family being involved with the property and his love for it! He also sings with 'Sons of the Pioneers'. WOW! It was a fun ride through history!

Full of history, interesting facts, and great narration. Cowboy John is seventh generation so his family knew the people in the story. He said the book is 75% history and 25% spice to make the story engaging. Cowboy John is a walking encyclopedia who has a great demeanor and friendly attitude. I highly recommend this tour especially is Cowboy John is your narrator.

Passing story, cowboy John was an excellent guide who was not just hired and memorized the script, he’s actually lived it as a family member of the neighborhood.
