25 Deserted Film Sets Frozen in Hollywood History

19. Silverado Movie Town (Cook Ranch), New Mexico, USA: A Western Legend Lives On

Near Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Cook Ranch has been home to the iconic Silverado movie town since it was built for the 1985 classic Western. This sprawling, authentic-looking frontier town has since featured in numerous films and TV shows, including "Lonesome Dove," "Wyatt Earp," and "3:10 to Yuma." Though it has faced threats from wildfires and the passage of time, parts of the town have been preserved or rebuilt. As a working film ranch, Silverado stands as a dynamic testament to the enduring appeal of the Western genre, its dusty streets echoing with cinematic history.
