The Past in the Present: Ocala’s Six Gun Territory

[@WilAdams]

My folks took our family to 6 Gun once in the late 1960s, we rode in a stage coach, afraid of rattle snakes under the seats (thanks to the driver telling us how that had happed once or twice). We saw the can-can girls but sadly it was not a day when there was a shootout on the streets. I have fond memories and faded black and white photos we took there. Thanks for reviving those memories with this.

Went to Six Gun as we called it many times. during the summer our folks would give us 5 bucks and drop us off in the morning and pick us up in the afternoon. 5 bucks got you in and some lunch and maybe a buck left over. I was heartbroken when they burned it down.

My aunt had a shop there. We would go and she would let us pick out anything we wanted in the shop. What a treat. Inspired by the cowboys I wanted to be a stunt woman but never made it, but I fall down a lot. At the age of 10 that was my dream job.

Thanks for sharing! I can only imagine what it was like back then!

I went to this park when I moved to Ocala in 1982. Unfortunately, it was already on a downward spiral, and it was obvious the end was near.
