Founded in 2006 the museum, located in Lone Pine, California collects, preserves, and exhibits a broad and diverse collection of western film memorabilia associated with the American western film genre. Film programs, artifact preservation and exhibits, including interpretive projects and displays, provide narrative support for the movies, actors, directors, and producers and importantly, the landscapes that served as a canvas for their stories.
Our exhibits and archival documents are the core of educational programs created to stimulate interest in the enduring legacy of our American West and local landscapes. The Museum attracts visitors from around the world that have sought out our unique museum to gain a better understanding of the western film and the history that has permeated American and worldwide cultures.
