2019 is the 80th Anniversary of "Old Tucson".
G and I have wanted to visit this, but past treks to Tucson simply didn't work out. However, this year we made it. If you have a "Tucson Passport" two can enter for the price of one.
"Old Tucson is an American movie studio and theme park just west of Tucson, Arizona, adjacent to the Tucson Mountains and close to the western portion of Saguaro National Park. Built in 1939 for the movie Arizona (1940), it has been used for the filming of several movies and television westerns since then, such as Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), Rio Bravo (1959), El Dorado (1966), and Little House on the Prairie TV series of the 1970s-1980s. It was opened to the public in 1960, and historical tours are offered about the movies filmed there, along with live cast entertainment featuring stunt shows and shootouts." - Wikipedia.
There are actors, stunts, lectures, music and sights to see, as well as tours and rides. I'm posting a few photos.
