The original car from the Beverly Hillbillies TV show. |

Jethro, Granny, Uncle Jed, and Ellie May with Miss Jane and Mr. Drysdale. |
Start with a ambient outside temperature of nearly 100 degrees. Add the original car from the
Beverly Hillbillies TV hit of the 1960s, and move out of the way as I come running through the door. While browsing the brochure for the history museum on the campus of the College of the Ozarks, just outside Branson, we discovered the museum holds the original car used in the
Beverly Hillbillies show. The very same car Uncle Jed drove the family to Californy in after they struck it rich in oil. Besides the car, there are a lot of interesting exhibits in the museum, mainly related to the music industry in the area and local history. There is also a phenomenal taxidermy collection from butterflies, to birds, to a wide range of big game, including the 9 foot standing polar bear. Even so, if you don't make it past Uncle Jed's jalopy, it's still worth the visit.
