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

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

The Collection
Built over 30 years. Open now.
This is not an institutional collection. Every piece in this museum was found, authenticated, and acquired by Jason and Nicol Grossman over three decades of collecting. There is no donation wall, no corporate sponsor. Just two people who love American history and culture, and built something remarkable with it.
