Description

In 1939, Columbia Pictures based a film on Clarence Kelland’s book Arizona, set all the way through the Civil War in Arizona Territory. To appropriately portray the novel’s landscape, Columbia selected a spot about 10 miles from what is now downtown Tucson in the midst of a big Pima County park for the filming. In 1959, Bob Shelton, a Kansas City developer, purchased the lot, decided to build an active movie studio and tourist attraction. His vision used to be successful, and Old Tucson Studios has set the stage for over 200 movies and tv shows. As Western movies regain their popularity in the box administrative center, the future looks bright for Old Tucson Studios to transform a premier filming website in Arizona.
