Gammon's Gulch Old West Town

This morning another one of our neighbors told us about Gammon's Gulch Old West Town. We decided to drive over there and check it out. We were pleasantly surprised at how interesting and entertaining it was. Jay Gammon and his wife own the place and Jay has collected buildings and artifacts from all over Arizona. Several movies have been filmed here and Jay's father was one of John Wayne's personal security members. It is obvious that this place is a true labor of love for Jay! He is quite a character and his personal tours are great. He does not advertise and yet he had 3,600 people tour there last year. He wants to keep it small and uncomplicated. If you're ever in this area, this is a great place to visit!
