Welcome
to Twentynine Palms, California
Town/City Overview
Twentynine Palms is a strong desert community of approximately 27,000
people, that sits between the 800,000 acres Joshua Tree National
Park and the largest U.S. Marine Corps base. Founded on a history of gold
prospectors and cattlemen of the late 1800s, a pioneer spirit and love of
history permeates the town. Wide open spaces, clear starry nights,
and lots of sunshine (about 230 days a year) beckon to desert lovers and
those looking for a more peaceful existence. As gateway to the
Joshua Tree
National Park,
it is also becoming a well-known and loved getaway for both national and
international visitors.
Art lovers will appreciate the "Oasis of Murals" commissioned by
the Action Council for 29 Palms, Inc. Through their efforts, world class
artist have portrayed the history of the community in a series of murals
on the exterior walls of commercial buildings. You can visit the Chamber
of Commerce & Visitor Center to pick up a map of the murals.
Another attraction is
Pioneertown, originally built in 1946, as a movie
set for western movies. The town provided both a living and working place
for actors like Duncan Renaldo (Cisco Kid), Gene Autry, Leo Carrillo (Pancho),
Gail Davis (Annie Oakley) and Dick Jones (Buffalo Bill, Jr.). Now the set
is home to shoot outs and bank robberies that help visitors relive the old
west.
