"The Branson, Missouri theme park is cited as the origin point for the cinnamon-bread tradition and has served the bread for generations; fans compare the two parks’ versions closely because the recipes are very similar. Historical context: the family that owns the parks bought the Tennessee property in 1977 and operated under the same Silver Dollar City identity before the later partnership that led to the rebrand; representatives say cinnamon bread was first served around the same time at both the Missouri and Tennessee parks." - Megan duBois
