Lone Pine California is a place most people just pass through. A stop at the Western Film History Museum is a real touch of the past from John Wayne, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, and the props from Tremmors you will find it there. Stage coaches old cars from movies to guns and clothes that the cowboy stars wore. very interesting place with a short film of forgotten HEROS
