Welcome to Old El Paso.

Everything seems oddly frozen in time.

There is a sense you are not supposed to be here, as if you arrived an hour earlier before the workers.

Just down the road is a small diner that closed when Wallacetown went bust.

Wallacetown is about a hour drive out of El Paso, literally there is nothing.

Behind the facades of Wallacetown.

Back of Saloon.

Though we couldn’t get inside, the Saloon is ready for business. There are tables and chairs nicely filling the space and the bar is eve outfitted for serving their first customer.

Wallacetown was meant to be a Disney of sorts, a tourist attraction.

Surrounding Wallacetown was going to be a subdivision, this dream is now nonexistent too.

From the second story balcony of the Saloon you can see the surrounding dessert and highway.

Another view from this vantage point.

These tracks are the only sign that someone had been here recently.

As the story goes, the developer of Wallacetown USA bought crumbling old buildings from another ghost town and had them moved to this location.
