Robert Ripley, who founded the Orlando, Florida-based Ripley Entertainment Inc., started this museum in Branson which featured unique items so unusual that visitors will always find it amusing and interesting. Ripley Entertainment boasts about 80 attractions worldwide that attract about 12 million visitors each year. Ripley originally developed Champs and Chumps (a cartoon that featured sports) that was premiered on December 19, 1918 at the New York Globe. In October 1919, the title was changed to Believe It Or Not and from there Ripley started adding items that were not related to sports.
It was in the early part of the 20th century that Robert Ripley became a world famous cartoonist and artist. When sports cartoon “Believe It Or Not” was created by Robert Ripley and later became extremely popular, it gave him the opportunity to travel all over the world. While he travelled around the world, he would always look for some odd things that he can add to his collections. The bizarre and odd cracked building that you can see around the museum in Branson is one of his odd creations.
This amazing cracked building is one of the rarest and oddest attractions of the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum in Branson. The building is a reflection of an earthquake that happened in 1812 which measured 8.0 on the Richter Scale. The intensity of the earthquake made the bells ring in one of the churches in Philadelphia. The earthquake was the worst to hit the US that time and surpassed the earthquake that hit California on the last few decades of the 20th century. This odd cracked building is one of the most photographed attractions in the world.
