Before Starbucks and iPad apps were a sign of city life, ole’ saloons and horse-drawn carriages were markers of a thriving town. Lucky for us, these historic hubs still exist and are now happening spots for lil’ cowboys and cowgirls. Looking to roll up their sleeves and pan for gold? Or watch an old fashioned shootout without the danger? Flip through our slideshow for the best Wild West Towns across the country.

Old Sacramento, Ca

Old Sacramento is where you’ll find the Old West in motion. River boats, horse drawn carriages, train rides and biking paths make this district a fantastic place for families to spend the day. Beyond shopping and eating, there’s museums packed with exhibits on automobiles, railroads and history that will entertain locomotive lovers for days.
