Cowboy 1960 Tapestries

Description: Frontierland first appeared as one of five original themed lands of the magic kingdom. The land did not initially contain many attractions but centered on open expanses of wilderness which could be traversed by guests via stagecoach, pack mules, Conestoga wagon, and walking trails. The Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland opened in 1960, consisting of a sedate train ride around various western landscape dioramas and featured a cowboy music show known as Frontier Music Land in the Rainbow Ridge mining town staring a goofy cowpoke named Elrod. The Mine Train closed in 1977 to make way for a new attraction; the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which opened in 1979, and dramatically changed Frontierland forever.
