In 1959, entrepreneur Robert Shelton leased the property from Pima County and began to restore the aging facility. Old Tucson re-opened in 1960, as both a film studio and a theme park. The park grew building by building with each movie filmed on its dusty streets. John Wayne starred in four movies at Old Tucson. "Rio Bravo" (1959) added a saloon, bank building and doctor's office; "McLintock!" (1963) added the McLintock Hotel; "El Dorado" (1966) brought a renovation of the storefronts on Front Street; and with "Rio Lobo" (1970) came a cantina, a granite-lined creek, a jail and a ranch house.
