Old Tucson Seeks New Operator

Old Tucson Studios is seeking a new operator after American Heritage Railways, which took over in 2022, declined to extend its five-year lease ending in April 2027. Despite ambitious plans to revive the historic film landmark — home to countless movies since 1939 and resilient through a 1994 fire — the company’s vision didn’t fully materialize. The county assures visitors that events like Nightfall and Yuletide will proceed as planned, urging continued support for this beloved Tucson icon. With American Heritage Railways’ proven experience in hospitality and tourism, the county is now focused on finding the right partner to write Old Tucson’s next chapter.
