Across four decades (the 60s through the 90s, though I never actually visited during the 80s), I made numerous visits to Frontier Town. Recently Haroff Auction and Realty placed a number of snapshots of Frontier Town on the Web in preparation for the 21 October 2004 auction of the land that Frontier Town sits on. Below I compare various areas around Frontier Town through the years by contrasting snapshots either from my visits or those from Haroff's website. Each set of pictures identifies what area is displayed, and each picture identifies the year it is from.
