Florida's Lost Tourist Attractions

Welcome to Six Gun Territory, a complete 1880's western town, carved out of the Florida scrub. The Jail, Courthouse, Wells Fargo, and Bank provided backdrops to gunfights, as well as guest services and restrooms. At the time the map below was printed (early 1980's) most of the remainder of the town was given over to gift shops: Six Gun Apothecary, Ann's Hat Shop, Six Gun Photo, General Store, B & B Shirt Emporium, Cousin Will's Variety Store, etc. There were also many empty stores. Refreshments could be had at the Palace Saloon and Miss Kitty's Ice Cream Parlor, with fast food burgers and hot dogs at the El Sombrero Cafe.
