Rex Allen Arizona Cowboy Museum

If you have an interest in the exciting world of cowboy lore, you may enjoy visiting the Rex Allen Arizona Cowboy Museum and learning about Mister Cowboy. Sometimes known as the pride of Willcox, Allen starred in a number of western movies and as far as Willcox residents were concerned, could give Roy Rogers a run for his money any day. His voice can still be heard in Disney movies and shows because he was famous for having narrated a variety of Wonderful World of Color shows. He was also responsible for the cartoon voices of more than 150 of Disney's characters. Located in the museum is a lifesize bronze statue of Allen that was created by Buck McCain. As a symbol of Allen's loyalty to Willcox is a molder brass heart inside of the statue symbolizing Allen's heart remaining in the town no matter where he traveled. His horse KoKo was buried at the foot of the statue. There is a gift shop on the premises that features books, buttons, belt buckles, card sets, hats, keychains, spoons, t-shirts, thimbles, videos, collector coins, jewelry, magnets, and music, all representing Allen's life and fame. If you are a fan of Allen's or would like to learn more about the history of cowboy films, pay a visit to the Rex Allen Arizona Cowboy Museum.
