GREAT home movies! For all who remember me writing on threads about the BUTTERFIELD HOTEL, let me tell you on the first movie there is about 3 seconds of a ramshackle farm house just after the train robbery and before the medicine show scene. I think that is the Butterfield Hotel. The building was an actual old farmhouse that was located about where the little race game is on the path to Wilson's Farm. Just across the RR tracks from FITH. The old stagecoach path ran past there, and before the stage came around the corner, the stage driver said to the folks riding the hotel was "fine lodging!" It always was a big laugh when the coach rounded the corner and the hotel came into sight. The Butterfield Hotel was still there when I first started working there in 1978. I seem to remember it was torn down in the winter of 1979 probably because it was becoming so dilapidated by then. Check out some old SDC maps to show the exact location of the building.
