One of a kind: Branson’s special entertainers’ signature hat donated to Centennial Museum

Lori Ann Johnson recently donated this special hat to Terri Vacanti at the Branson Centennial Museum. Lori has been collecting autographs of famous Branson entertainers for the past 28 years. She started an autograph hat in 1997, and this special hat has 76 autographs. Some of the autographs include Daniel O’Donnell (1997), Mel Tillis (1997), Mickey Gilley (1999), Bobby Vinton, Roy Clark, Kitty Wells, Glen Campbell, Boxcar Willy, Tony Orlando and the Duttons.

Locals and visitors will enjoy this new addition. It is a wonderful addition to the museum’s Musical Entertainment exhibit as they share Branson’s history with visitors from near and far. To see the rest of the autographs, please go to the Branson Centennial Museum, 120 South Commercial Street.

The White River Valley Historical Society and the Branson Centennial Museum are 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organizations supported entirely by members, grants and donations.
