Old Tucson Map and Brochure (2025 – 2023)
Location: Tucson, Arizona
Years Active: 1960 – Active
Old Tucson ain’t Disneyland. This place is rawhide and dust, a living ghost town smack in the middle of the desert. It’s been a movie set for longer than most folks have been alive – think gunfights, saloons, the whole nine yards. You won’t find squeaky-clean history here, but you will find a hell of a good time.
Sure, they’ve got the staged shootouts and the corny shows. But the real fun is off the beaten path. Get lost in the backstreets, check out the weathered buildings that haven’t been on camera in decades. You might even catch the performers in a quiet moment, sharing real stories about the Old West that the guidebooks don’t mention.
Old Tucson’s best days might be behind it. The paint’s peeling, the shows are a little rough…but that’s the charm, right? They’re not trying to fool you with a fake West. And word is, some big changes might be coming. So if you want that authentic, slightly run-down Old West experience, better hurry on down.
