Buckskin Joe Lost to A Private Collector

More images of Buckskin Joe from the 1960s. This park closed several years ago and has now been moved and rebuilt on a private ranch. These pictures show the town and the construction of the buildings. I really like how the boys of the family are themed to the trip.

Next up is a nice shot of the boardwalk in front of the Land and Assay office. Note the boys now are holding toy rifles.

Final image shows two of the gun fighters standing in front of the Mine. The mine in later years was very kitsch with fantastic wax figures including Alfred Packer the Colorado Cannibal.

    One of the best days I ever spent was at Buckskin Joe, summer 2009. Sad to think it's no longer there for everyone to enjoy.
