Just one Perkinsville photo--we promise. A portion of the movie "How The West Was Won" was filmed in Perkinsville in 1961 when Western movies still ruled the Hollywood World. Perkinsville was transformed into Gold City. As chance would have it, it appears the Perkinsville buildings are the last remaining physical vestige of the epic movie. Here are a lot of factoids I did not know about the movie, including all the other "on location" places where the film was shot.

We can tell ya some stories about the Perkins family but, ya know, this isn't the place--maybe some night 'round yonder camp fire.
Meanwhile, we promise to take at least two token, obligatory photos of Perkinsville when we pass through going and coming this week.
You need to eat at Rod's Steak House and take pictures of the signs and neon! Please!
