OK...last tourist day in Tucson so we visited Old Tucson, an old western town used for movie shoots now privately owned and set up as a tourist attraction. There were so many movies shot here that there is no way I could begin to mention all of them but let's just say that they go back to the days of James Arness, Amanda Blake, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Audie Murphy and multitudes of others.
There are numerous old buildings set up as a Saloon, General Store, Newspaper Office, Bath House, Hotel, Barber Shop, Dress Shop, etc with a train that circles the property. You can also catch a ride on a real stagecoach.
We saw a "Can-Can" show at the Hotel & Saloon....these
three girls can really sing and dance! What a surprisingly
good performance. Later in the afternoon, they sang songs
relative to various old western movies. Again, hats off to
these young actors!
We also saw a "western shoot-out" in the middle of town
performed by three other young male actors.
And, of course, we rode the old railroad train around the
property plus a walk through the old mine.
We all had a grand old time at Old Tucson!
