"Tourists, who signed Mrs. Hall’s guest register kept on the mantelpiece of the Lane cabin, wanted souvenirs from the Lane farm. Elizabeth Hall began going to the fireplace to remove a small stone to give to the travelers. The strangers left satisfied and as needed, Elizabeth replenished her supply of stones from the field."

Apparently the Shepherd of the Hills Historical Society let it sit there next to the entrance to Mutton Hollow and just rot. There were also some occasional problems with vandalism at the site, going back to the late 70s. Don't know what became of the stones that made up the fireplace or the logs used in the walls...seems like those historical artifacts had ought to have been something SOMEBODY would have kept.
The Wilderness Settlement was composed of seven rustic shops including Wilderness Leather Works and a small outdoor theater called the Corn Crib Theatre.

-Sammy Lane Pirate Cruises- was an attraction that took Branson visitors on a leisurely hour an a half cruise along that portion of the White River that lies beneath Lake Taneycomo. Leaving from its dock at the lake front the cruise included a narration of Branson’s history, the birds and wildlife seen on the cruise, and the set up for the visit to the gold mine and the pirate cannon attack near the end of the voyage.
The last remaining pieces of this were demolished during the Branson Landing Redevelopment Project that opened in the late spring of 2006. Some say that the riverboat tradition of the Sammy Lane Pirate Cruise dated back to 1917 and that it was the longest continually running riverboat operation in the Branson Region.
Sycamore Log Church was built in 1933, and still stands and is still in use. It is in the Henning State Forest, and is a great little out of the way place to spend some quiet time with the Lord.
