Constructed for John Wayne's epic film The Alamo (1960) near Brackettville, Texas, Alamo Village was a full-scale replica of the Alamo compound and 1836 San Antonio. For nearly 50 years after the film, it operated as a tourist attraction and active Western film set. However, it closed permanently to the public in 2010. While maintained privately for a time, the structures face an uncertain future and the effects of time, representing a significant piece of Western film history potentially fading away.
