The Shepherd of the Hills

Inspiration Tower

While on a trip to New York, the Snadons were standing on the observation deck of the World Trade Center when Gary remarked that such an attraction was needed in Branson, and in 1989 Inspiration Tower was built on the site where Harold Bell Wright had spent his summers looking out over Mutton Hollow. The 230-foot height of the tower is the maximum that could be achieved by utilizing pre-cast construction, which Gary felt was important for aesthetic reasons.
