Museum of Western Film History

Museo único, visita obligada si te gusta el cine del oeste. Tiene tanto material dedicado a el que no creo que haya otro museo igual en el mundo. Es así debido a que en la zona se rodaron multitud de películas y serías famosas, no solo del Oeste, también de ciencia ficción como Temblores y Star Wars. Por 5 dólares que cuesta la entrada puedes asombrarte de lo que encuentras. Es una parada obligada si vas de San Francisco a Yoshimite y Dead Valley y de ahí a las Vegas. Además es bueno que hagas un relleno de gasolina al coche antes de entrar a Dead Valley.

Un pequeño museo muy cuidado y muy interesante sobre el oeste americano y sobre las películas rodadas en Lone Pine. Muy curioso la infinidad de films rodados en esa ciudad. El precio de la entrada 5 $, yo creo que muy bien por lo que se ve y lo interesante del lugar. Si haces una parada en este pueblo no dejéis de visitarlo.

Muy interesante y divertido sobre todo para cinefilos

Es interesante, una parte de la historia del cine

Muy bien organizado

Step Back in Time to the Golden Age of Westerns "Respect can be as contagious as measles if it's properly spread around." - Paladin in "Have Gun - Will Travel" (1957) Located almost half the way between Reno and Los Angeles, Lone Pine is one of those unassuming little towns that one may stop for a coffee or a quick bite on the way north or south on Highway 395, but there is actually a lot of history there. The part of the history that brought me here had to do with Alabama Hills. Named after Confederate ship CSS Alabama by California minors sympathetic to the Confederate cause, Alabama Hills area became a popular filming location for television and movie productions. Starting in 1920s many movies, including westerns, were and still are being filmed on this location. The Museum of Western Film History is a living museum that gives the visitors a very unique and fascinating insight to what was and is. I am a Western movie geek and had been thinking about visiting this place for years. On this trip the opportunity presented itself and boy it was fun! I can go on and on about many of my favorite westerns that were filmed here, but I will not bother you now. Instead, I suggest you stop there next time you are travelling on Hwy 395 and enjoy the museum's precious collection of American movie history. It'll cost you $8.00 to get in there, but you can easily spend a couple of hours in there! When was the last time you paid $8.00 for a 2 hour long movie ticket?!

It was a fun stop. Had some great memorabilia. Most films were before I was born, but have seen some of the movies. There was a short film that as very good. Interesting facts of how town people helped with supplying horses, mules, wagons, etc. they were extras (actors) when needed. Interesting information how movies were made in the Alabama Hills.
