Group Tours Now Available at Old Tucson's Mescal Movie Location!

The setting resembles a late 1800's town complete with a dusty main street lined with one and two-story buildings. Cattle are frequently the inhabitants, along with tumbleweeds rolling through the dirt streets coming to a stop against a leaning hitching post. Wind flutters curtains through windows. And off in the distance, rolling hills lead to lofty mountain heights that play with the imagination...

Located just 45 minutes from the parent home of Old Tucson Studios, the isolated Mescal film set offers an old western town atmosphere atop a gentle hill surrounded by natural tall grasses and native cacti. This location has been featured in over 50 film, television and commercial productions including: "Monte Walsh" (1968 with Lee Marvin), "Dirty Dingus Magee" (1970 with Frank Sinatra), "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" (1972 with Paul Newman), "Tombstone" (1993 with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer), "The Quick and the Dead" (1994 with Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman) and "Buffalo Soldiers" (1997 with Danny Glover).

The Mescal set is now open to the public! An on-site Tour Guide at Mescal is available for Guided Photo and Walking Tours every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Each hour, on the hour, from 10am to 2pm, guides will lead visitors on a whimsical, nostalgic and cinematic tour focusing on the history of Mescal and on the most famous stars and recognizable scenes produced at this unique film venue. Estimated length of time is 60 minutes. There are no food, water or bathroom amenities.

Directions to Mescal are as follows: From Tucson, head east on I-10 to exit #297. Take Mescal Road north 3 miles and turn left where the pavement ends. Proceed west 1/2 mile (dirt road) to the town of Mescal.
