1.  Authentic -  Where Real History Was Made

No location captures and symbolizes the romantic American West better than Southern Arizona. Here is where history actually happened.  This is the land of Geronimo and the Apaches, the Butterfield Stage Line and the Southern Pacific Railroad, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday, plus ranchers, lawmen, miners, rustlers, and outlaws.  A location that is a true canvas for filming the authentic American West.

The Mescal Movie Set, a sprawling Western movie set, offers 28 buildings with props sitting amid authentic cattle country. Plus, the set owners control the surrounding ranch with its mountain backdrops, scenic vistas, and spectacular views. It’s a unique find for your next epic production, with saloons, hotels, mercantile stores, ranch houses, jail, bank, Livery, church/school, and more.

5.  Unique  -  We are Passionate About Western Movies, History, and Culture

Local fifth-generation ranchers saved the set from destruction in 2021. They have created a team of volunteers dedicated to renovating the set and bringing Westerns back to Southern Arizona. We are proud to be a family business motivated to provide film productions with a unique and positive experience.
