True Grit Landmark #2

In True Grit, after finding the mortuary closed because the undertaker had gone to the triple hanging, Mattie joins an enthusiastic crowd to watch. The gallows stood just west of this location. Jay Silverheels, known for playing Tonto in the 1949-1957 Lone Ranger television series, appeared as the middle one of the three condemned men although he was not listed in the credits. Related filming sites in Ridgway included the railroad depot, gallows, livery stable, undertaker and Chen Lee's place, courthouse facade, True Grit Cafe, saloon and grocery, and jail wagon, while Ouray sites included the Ouray County Courthouse and the Outlaw Restaurant. The sites appear in the movie in this order: 8, 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 9, 5, 3.
