The company planned a town, Marble City, on the rough hilltop near the cave and in 1884 recorded a plat map at the courthouse in Galena, Missouri.
Two years later Jones bought the property and formed the Marble Cave Mining and Manufacturing Company. Jones and Powell instead found huge amounts of guano and a flat wall which they also believed to be marble. Powell entered the cave in hopes of finding lead. The cave remained undisturbed until 1882 when a group led by T. They found no lead, but were convinced that the flat ceiling of one room was composed of marble, they originally named the cave Marble Cave. Blow, a lead mining magnate, explored the cave with six miners. Silver Dollar City is situated at the site of one of the Ozarks' oldest attractions, Marvel Cave.

The park is an 1880s-themed experience that fits Branson's vision as a family-friendly vacation destination with down-home charm. Silver Dollar City opened on May 1, 1960. The park is located off of Missouri Route 76 on the Indian Point peninsula of Table Rock Lake. Silver Dollar City is a 61-acre (25 ha) amusement park in Stone County, Missouri, near the cities of Branson and Branson West.
