A roadside attraction from the old school, this fake fort hides a festival of gimcrackery including a miniature version of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. All manner of schlock is on sale, from John Wayne toilet paper and cheap Western wear to inane t-shirts and forgotten brands of candy. Overall, it's a hoot.
