Anyone who has ever watched a Western movie or longed for the days when cowboys roamed the fields and frontier values ran the town will enjoy visiting Temecula's Old Town Front Street. An original outpost on the Butterfield Stage Line between Los Angeles and San Diego, Old Town Front Street was the heart and soul of this western hamlet in its heyday and recent steps by the City of Temecula to preserve the culture and cowboy heritage of Old Town Front Street mean the Wild, Wild West will be alive and well for a long, long time.
There has been a lot of new building activity in Old Town, with the copper-domed Dalton Building going up last year and two more under construction now. A five story parking structure, resembling an old time bank or mercantile building on the outside but housing off street parking for hundreds of visitors on the inside is nearing completion as well. Finally, the City will join old town merchants in 2010 as the construction of a new City Hall moves toward completion.

There are antiques from every period available in Old Town's quirky shops with prices ranges that will suit all different kinds of collectors.
