Description
The Contrabando, a ghost town within Big Bend Ranch State Park, west of Lajitas, Texas on Texas State Highway 170. It consists of an original adobe building called "La Casita" and several later additions that became part of the Contrabando during its use as a movie set. The movie set was constructed in 1985 for the Roy Clark film "Uphill all the Way." The site has been used as a set for nine movies, including John Sayles' 1996 movie "Lone Star," as well as "Dead Man�s Walk" and "Streets of Laredo," which were part of the Lonesome Dove miniseries based upon the novel by Larry McMurtry.
