PioneerTown
Pioneertown is a quirky, Old West-style town located near Joshua Tree in California. Originally built in the 1940s as a movie set for Western films, it now serves as both a living town and a tourist destination. Its rustic wooden buildings, saloons, and dusty streets transport visitors back in time, offering a taste of the Wild West. Pioneertown is home to the legendary Pappy & Harriet’s, a lively bar and music venue, attracting both locals and travelers.
