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!
