Claire arrived with Emerson and Colby, just before noon yesterday. We had lunch then drove to Old Tucson. "Built in 1939 for the movie Arizona (1940), it has been used for the filming of many movies and television westerns, and music videos since then, such as Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957), Rio Bravo (1959), El Dorado (1966), The Magnificent Seven, and Little House on the Prarie 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." We rode the train, a stage coach, drove antique cars, watched a stunt show and a shootout, and enjoyed a petting zoo. We had a fun afternoon!
