Gammons Gulch

We had a wonderful day touring Gammons Gulch. Gammons Gulch is a ghost town movie set. One may say that it is the brainchild of Jay Gammon. Jay has collected many things that have been used in movies. He has a collection of 5 pianos. His place has been the setting for a few movies. We were greeted by Jay who gave us a tour and told us how each of the buildings were built. He has quite a few authentic items. His buildings include a jail, blacksmith shop, assay office, saloon, Chinese Laundry, mercantile, livery, and a hotel. He and his wife live in the hotel. The tour cost $7. He has an area set aside for picnics. Gammon Gulch is usually open September - May, hours 9 a.m-4 p.m. Wed. through Sunday, but one might want to call ahead to make sure he is open. For email- gammonsgulch@theriver.com. Phone 520-212-2831. You can get to Gammons Gulch by taking exit 306 east of Benson, Arizona. This is another place that we will return to, as Jay is always adding on and people are always giving him things. For more photos, click on the link.
