how many miles from springfield missouri to branson missouri

[ColemanDella]

Well, if you're planning on trading Springfield's cashew chicken for one of Branson's famous live shows, you're in luck. The trip is so short, your car will barely have time to warm up before you're there.

According to the digital road-tripping gurus, the drive is a mere jaunt. You're looking at a distance of about 43.5 to 44 miles, depending on which online map you ask. This little Ozark adventure should only take you around 49 to 51 minutes to complete.

That's just enough time to listen to one side of a classic album or have a spirited debate about whether you're going to see a magic act or a country music star. Before you know it, you'll have swapped one Missouri gem for another. It's practically next door, really.
