They were an
Ozark’s family who played the underground stages of the Missouri hills. Folks from all over would pack the caves to hear their legendary family performances.
So many, in fact, the caverns couldn’t hold’em anymore.
So the Presleys left the caves and bought themselves a piece of land out on an
isolated two-lane stretch of asphalt just outside of town. Wasn’t long after that
when their show opened in a brand new theater.
It was Branson’s original country music theater. The Presleys were a
smash hit. People from across the country lined up every night for a chance
to hear the country and gospel music the Presley family loved to perform.
Pretty soon, other theaters started popping up around the Presleys.
The years passedand Hwy. 76 became a glittering mecca of
country music stars. And smack dab in the middle of it all,
from the very start, were the Presleys.
