The Old West

Movie set built on the Mexican border where several old western movies were filmed.

Oh for the good old days when we spent hours and hours watching cowboy movies. The scenery is so fantastic.

Lovely shot of Olden times. (The movies that is!)

I love this! How fabulous to be able to visit these sites, all that is missing is the cowboy or Indian.

[Paula Fontanini]

I'm so jealous...I love the landscape out there and this is why! It's just so straigtht out of a western movie set!

[Renee Salamon]

How brilliant to be on a movie set - all you needed was a cowboy outfit 😊

[Mags]

Nothing about this that I don't like - a lot!

The layers are wonderful.

Very cool

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great find. Sure looks like a perfect location, I can see why they used it.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[Chris Cook]

That is so cool. Is it still used as a movie set?

[Bucktree]

@cdcook48 Thank you Chris. No it has been abandoned for quite some time. The state parks dept sort of maintains the structure. There use to be other structures there, but after a flood of the Rio Grande several years ago they took them down. A couple of the movies filmed there were "The streets of Laredo" and "Contrabando".
