Gammons Gulch is a Movie Set & Museum created as an Old West Town from the 1880’s to the 1930’s.

Gammons Gulch began the day Jay was exploring the desert in Benson, Arizona. Traveling down an old dirt road, he came across a for sale sign that read 10 acres available. The property had hills with a Gulch area next to a dry wash and Jay decided then and there that was a perfect spot for his lifelong dream of owning an Old West Mining Town and offering it as a production location.

From that day forward Gammons Gulch was transferred from a dream to a reality as Jay Gammons lovingly began to build board by board this location using buildings he gathered from the Old West era from all over the country.  

The first building was completed in 1972; a small shack Jay refers to as the Telegraph office.  Since then the town has grown to over 17 buildings including an 1100 square foot Saloon and a Church.

The first project that used Gammons Gulch as a location was a television commercial for a shoe shop in Tucson, Arizona and since then it has exploded with many other production projects , made for TV movies and events visiting the Gulch.  A few of the most recent films include “The Debacle” and the movie “The Gun Down”, starring Peter Coyote, Sheree Wilson, William Shockley and Veronica Diaz.

Many famous personalities’ from all over the world have walked the streets of this town including;  Alyssa Molina, Jeff  Fahey,  Sheree Wilson, Mario Van Pebbles, Peter Coyote, William Shockley, Veronica Diaz, Christine Alfonso, Ty Harden, Stella Stevens,  William Smith and Christine Johnson.

In addition to Gammons Gulch as a movie set, photography and event venue, it is filled with real artifacts and antiques and is also considered a Museum because of the historical content and props that fill the town and buildings.

There is an 1880’s flour mill from Safford Arizona, a  2-seater out house that came from the railroad lines that lead to Curtis Crossing. (This was the same rail line the Earps rode on when they left Tombstone to Tucson in 1882), there is a working telegraph key and receiver. A hang mans scaffle, mining equipment, a big 1909 Fairbanks Morris working engine, a complete 1880’s grocery store and much more. This town is full of wonderful artifacts from the past.

Some of the popular buildings that scouts may be looking for include an 1100 square foot Saloon, a Church, jail, mining camp with cabin and mine as well as a complete Mercantile.

Gammons Gulch offers production crews wide streets running north and south and an un-obstructed view of the beautiful high desert of Arizona. There is plenty of parking available that is separate from the town.
