Inspiration Tower at Shepherd of the Hills
Shepherd of the Hills
5586 W. Hwy 76
Inspiration Tower is Branson's "landmark on the horizon" - a massive 230' tall structure located on Inspiration Point in
The Shepherd of the Hills Homestead. Constructed and erected in 1989, it weighs 3 million pounds, cost approximately
$1.5 million to build, contains over 92,000 pounds of structural steel, and can withstand a constant wind of 172 mph or
gusts of up to 224 mph! A convoy of 43 concrete trucks filled the Tower foundation, which contains five miles' worth of rebar
weighing 34.5 tons. The Tower also contains over 4,400 square feet of glass - enough to cover a third of a football field!
Two
glass elevators transport visitors to the spacious, enclosed observation deck. You can also walk a few steps down to the
open-air deck. The panoramic views available are absolutely phenomenal, in any season. On a clear day, you can see over 90
miles. There's also a specialty gift shop, snack bar and restrooms on the ground level. During November and December,
Inspiration Tower is transformed into the Ozarks' largest Christmas tree for the Trail of Lights!
