Pioneertown was originally built in the 1940s as an old west movie set. Today locals keep the western tradition alive holding mock gunfights from April through October on Pioneer town's Mane Street.

Pappy and Harriet's Palace offers live music, touring bands and dancing on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday in their saloon. The town also has a bowling alley built in 1947 which is the oldest, longest working wooden lanes in the United States. The buildings around town are all private property but visitors are welcome.


Pioneertown is way off the beaten track but if your a fan of the old west its worth checking out. There is a hotel in town, Pioneertown Motel, its located behind Pappy & Harriet's.

The motel has 18 rooms and is decorated cowboy style. The Joshua tree area is a great weekend getaway from Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs metro areas. The weather is ten degrees cooler than the lower desert and you will be treated to magnificent desert views and clean air.
