2014-04-17 Gammons Gulch Movie Set and Museum

2014-04-17 Gammons Gulch Movie Set and Museum
http://www.gammonsgulch.com/

We have been to Old Tucson western movie set twice. It was great fun!
But last Spring, we found Gammons Gulch, an absolute GEM of a place to visit,
and a museum and movie set that has a whole nuther flavor and character to it.
This "must see" place is close to Benson, AZ, and VERY affordable!!!!
I think this is one of those times when I should not "cut my own cheese", as it can 
end up uneven. Sometimes it is best to bring it straight from the source, 
know what I mean?

 “Step back into time as founder Jay Gammons has and enjoy the fond memories
 of days gone by. Imagine yourself stepping back in time, walking down the main
 street of an old west town. In the distance you hear sounds of a honky-tonk 
piano slip in and out of the still, eerie silence as you walk past the saloon.
At any moment you expect to see a cowboy step out of the doorway, or hear the 
pounding of a blacksmith’s hammer. Or maybe feel the rumble of driven horses as
 the stagecoach churns up the dust as it rolls into town.
The place is real; a little imagination is all you need to complete your authentic 
and memorable “step back in time” experience."
"Come visit our Old Western Town and Mining Camp which is a mix of the 1880’s to
 our 1930’s side street. Gammons Gulch has a collection of Antiques and Old Cars.
Movie Memorabilia such as Jays pictures and stories of the days his father and 
him worked security for the movie with such stars as John Wayne, Ava Gardner, 
Andy Griffith and many more."

Make sure to click on their website link, eh?
Lots of nifty pics to see there, and much more info!
Happy Trails!
