Located just one hour's drive West of Concan, Brackettville is known as the movie capital of Texas.
Alamo Village is Texas' first permanent outdoor movie location and was built for John Wayne's epic "The Alamo." It sits in the middle of the18,000 acre Shahan HV Ranch seven miles north of Brackettville on Hwy 674. The set -- largest and most complete in the U.S. -- boasts a full-scale period town and the only replica of the 1836 Alamo mission in the world.
The Alamo and town were constructed with a dedication to authenticity. The versatile sets -- all full-scale buildings; no false fronts -- include nearly three dozen board-and-batten and adobe buildings such as jails, saloons, general store, bank, hotel, church, stable, blacksmith shop in addition to the Alamo mission-fortress.
Through the years, they have served as forts, haciendas, modern European villages, frontier towns and Mexican villages. They have a tremendous selection of wagons, surreys, buckboards, stagecoaches and buggies, and our prop rooms are filled with everything from whiskey barrels to a 1920's barber chair.
A prize herd of registered Texas Longhorns roam the ranch along with quarter horses, goats, and sheep
