Buckskin Joe

Buckskin Joe was a Western-style theme park and railway in Fremont County, Colorado, United States, about 8 miles (13 km) west of Cañon City.

Features of the park included gun fights, 30 authentic buildings from the Colorado 19th century frontier, themed entertainment, full service saloon and restaurant.

Buckskin Joe was built as a film set in 1957 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer director Malcolm F. Brown, by bringing together old buildings from around central Colorado, and assembling them into an old western-style town.

[citation needed] On September 2, 2010, owner Greg Tabuteau announced the sale of Buckskin Joe and its associated attraction the "Royal Gorge Scenic Railway", to an anonymous purchaser.

The 1991 television feature Conagher starring Sam Elliott, Katharine Ross, Ken Curtis and Barry Corbin was filmed at Buckskin Joe.

Horace Tabor's store was brought from the ghost town of Buckskin Joe to its namesake theme park
