Kanab Little Hollywood

Kanab has been a Hollywood filming location since 1924. This room proves it.

The red rock landscape you drove through to get here has been the backdrop for over a century of Westerns. Fort Apache. Gunsmoke. The Outlaw Josey Wales. The Lone Ranger. The directors who chose Southern Utah over every other location on earth left something behind — and most of it ended up here.

Featured Artifacts

Tombstone — Full Cast Signed, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton, Sam Elliott, Kurt Russell

An original hand-signed photo from the film Tombstone, bearing all four principal signatures — Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday, Bill Paxton, Sam Elliott, and Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp. One piece, four names. This one gets looked at for a while.

Clint Eastwood — The Outlaw Josey Wales, Signed

A signed Clint Eastwood photo from The Outlaw Josey Wales, displayed with a pencil portrait and the film's most quoted line. The Outlaw Josey Wales was filmed in Southern Utah. The landscape outside the museum is in this film.

Gunsmoke — Cast Signed Display, James Arness and Burt Reynolds

Multiple signed photos from the Gunsmoke cast, including James Arness signing as "Matt" and Burt Reynolds, alongside a period TV Guide cover featuring Arness. Gunsmoke filmed extensively around Kanab. This room exists in part because of productions like this one.
