For those of you who watched the new Elvis movie and want to learn more… 👀
🌟 Did you know? Apache Junction holds a piece of Elvis Presley’s legacy right here at the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum! smldmuseum
🎬 In 1968, Elvis filmed his famous movie “Charro!” at the Apacheland Movie Ranch, and one of the iconic props used was the chapel. Today, that very chapel serves as a memorial chapel within the museum, preserving the essence of Elvis’s presence.
🏞️ Disassembled and later reconstructed, the chapel features original elements from the movie set and is adorned with western film memorabilia, including posters from movies shot at Apacheland. A life-size Elvis figure adds to the charm, ready for photos and even available to officiate weddings upon request!
🕊️ Whether for weddings, special events, or simply a stroll down memory lane, this chapel is a true testament to Apache Junction’s rich history and western charm.
