Calumet says Howdy.

Calumet Sign From Movie Red Dawn

The original sign from the 1980's movie Red Dawn depicting the fake town of Calumet, Colorado still resides in this town. Much of the town still looks exactly the same as when the movie was filmed. It is a must stop for those who grew up in the '80s and feared those scary Russians! A perfect spot to do your best "Swayze (R.I.P.) - Wolverines!" pose and grab a great picture for the ole' road trip scrap book.
