Pioneertown is a town of the Old West constructed to be used as a movie set in the 1940’s. The set was established in 1946 by a handful of Hollywood investors, which included actors Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. The group dreamed of making an Old West movie set that was in fact a town in itself worth visiting, complete with false-front, 1880’s-style facades with interiors that offered things to do and see for visitors. From the outside, buildings in Pioneertown looked like jails, saloons, and frontier stables, however, they actually housed motels, bowling alley, ice cream parlors on the inside.
