Fifty years of memorabilia from Old Tucson will soon have a new home at Trail Dust Town on the cityâs east side.
The Arizona Western Film Movieseum, announced Wednesday, Dec. 9, is slated to open next fall and will house memorabilia collected by the late Old Tucson founder Bob Shelton.
Old Tucson closed indefinitely due to the pandemic. It was the premiere authentic Western filming location before it burned in 1995. More than 400 movie and TV projects were made there. Produced by Rick Wiley / Arizona Daily Star Rick Wiley
The Movieseum fulfills a longtime dream of Sheltonâs who even in the weeks leading up to his death four years ago was drawing up plans for such a space, his widow, Carolyn Shelton said.
