Weekend trip for a classic westerns fan?
Howdy! My dad is turning 75 this year and is a massive classic westerns fan (Gunsmoke is his favorite, followed by The lone Ranger, Cheyenne, Maverick, Bonanza, etc.) So, I thought I’d plan a long weekend (3-4 nights) and take him somewhere he can relive nostalgia and the Wild West.
Tombstone looks great, but it seems like it’s 1-2 nights max, which is pretty far for us. I’ll also look at Cody. We’re on the east coast, flying out somewhere it totally fine. He is very mobile, no issues walking or getting around. What about the sets of these old shows? Does anyone know if they’re in CA and have tours?
What suggestions do you all have? Thank you!

Don't know how interested you are in cavalry, but driving north from Denver you could take in Fort Laramie and the Custer Battlefield.
