City/town information
Visit an Old West town built as a 1940’s movie set
In 1946, Pioneertown was founded by a group of Hollywood investors, including actors Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. They dreamed of creating an Old West set that was actually a town worth visiting, with 1880s-style false-front façades but interiors that had stuff for visitors to see and do too. Up went (from the outside) frontier stables, saloons, and jails; inside, they housed ice cream parlours, bowling alleys and motels. More than 50 films and television shows were filmed here in the 1940s and ‘50s.
While location shooting and businesses here have dwindled, you can still see mock gunfights on Mane Street (pun intended). But the most happening place by far is Pappy and Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace, with surprisingly good live music (Robert Plant and Leon Russell have played here) in a seemingly unlikely setting. This must-see desert find also serves up awesome ribs, plus classic Santa Maria barbecue, burgers, sandwiches and salads.

Getting to Joshua Tree National Park
- Enter through the park’s North entrance in Twentynine Palms, which is 8 mins from the house and has short wait times. Some map apps may direct you to the West entrance, but ignore that - it is much farther away and wait times at the West entrance can be up to an hour.
- You need to buy a ticket or annual pass at the entrance.
