Sustainability is ‘the Quickest Draw’ at John Wayne Museum
A building designed to preserve even the toughest Western actor’s memorabilia
Known to many as “The Duke,” Western film superstar John Wayne rode on to broader vistas in 1979, leaving a legacy rivalled by only a handful of Hollywood greats. From “True Grit” to “Chisum” to “Hondo” to “Sands of Iwo Jima,” Wayne’s acting could only be described as natural.
The breadth and tenure of his career left much to be admired by fans, young and old. In an attempt to collect and safeguard as much of that history as possible, the John Wayne Birthplace Society added a facility to the superstar’s historic birthplace property.
