Just amazing!
Okay, if you're looking for an authentic Old West tourist trap, head west past Murdo to the "Original" 1880s town...it is much more elaborate and authentic. But for me, who loves authentic homegrown Americana, the Cowboy Ghost Town was a chance to see a real, homegrown, low-rent tourist trap built with love and sincerity you just don't see much any more. It's dingy and run-down and some of the exhibits seem cobbled together from flea markets. The animatronic cowboys are surreal and scary (my fave was the Abe Lincoln, whose stovepipe hat is pulled down over his eyes). The manager, who has a similarly grungy general store attached, is friendly and engaging and has a clear love for the place.
At six bucks admission, I think it's a bargain. Like I say, it was weird and surreal but I am really being honest when I say it was one of the high points of my road trip. I have never seen anything like it.
