Information from
Alamo Village, Brackettville,Texas
Texas' most active and versatile movie set
is also one of the largest and most complete
(no false fronts here) backlots in the world.
Built for John Wayne's The Alamo, Alamo
Village has played host to more than 200 major feature films,
TV movies, mini-series,documentaries, commercials, and music videos.
Barbarosa with Willie Nelson, Lonesome Dove
with Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones,
The Good Old Boys, starring Sissy Spacek, Tommy Lee Jones,
and Matt Damon, Bad Girls with Andie MacDowell
and Drew Barrymore and the modern day millennial comedy thriller,
The Bullfighter with Willem Defoe have all been
filmed here.
Why here? Because Kinney County
rancher and businessman James T.
"Happy" Shahan convinced John Wayne's
Batjac Productions to film The Alamo here.
Since, hundreds of other production companies
have used our one-of-a-kind set located in the middle
of a 30 square mile working ranch.
Alamo Village is open to the public (except 5 days during Christmas).
Folks may stroll through the Alamo compound plus there are
over 18 walk-in buildings to see including
the John Wayne Museum, wagon room, jail, bank,
church, Indian store, Trading post, and Cantina (full service restaurant)
where there is cold "root" beer on draught!
In the summer, there are four shows daily,
kicking off with a music show inside the Cantina
followed by a "fun for the whole family" gunfight depicting the Old West.
There's something for the movie lover and movie maker.
