Canon City, Colorado - Buckskin Joe Frontier Town and Railway I got to be a gunfighter for a day at Buckskin Joe's. I got shot and played in all the shows they did. I even got to hang a guy, when we did one of the shows that had a hanging in it. It was hard work, but so worth it.
Growing up I used to play cowboys all the time and watch westerns and this was like doing both, playing in a western movie. I would do it again the next time I go to Colorado. [Steve C, 05/11/2008]
[RA: You can't beat hanging a guy. Here's a photo from our visit (we didn't get shot or hanged).]Canon City, Colorado - Buckskin Joe - Town of Terror "Town of Terror" -- we don't know what it is yet, but Buckskin Joe is advertising it as "coming soon," with the tagline: "There's nothing scarier than the real thing." The History Channel shot a "Haunted Rockies" documentary there in 2001. We always thought the employees at BJ's performed well in their mock gunfights and hangings.
