Our Town Sipokni West

Sipokni West
The Old West Movie Town

Please excuse the dust pardners, we're just settlin' down.

We have a bit of work ahead of us, but when we’re done, you’ll find something special here. Right now though let us just tell ya a little about ourselves.

Sipokni West was born on a rural piece of land near Reagan, Oklahoma in 1991. Although the town only had a few buildings and such there has been continued growth as there was during the glamorous days of the western expansion.

Today Sipokni West showcases a telegraph office, sherrif's office, Well Fargo's office, General Store, Shorty's barbershop, livery stable, the Reagan Hotel, schoolhouse, doctor's office, trading post, the Wilfred Bunkhouse, and the famous Cowboy Cafe. Construction is on the way for the new church and maybe we should have built that first so we could possibly got a little divine help on building this town. But, as they say, hindsight is twenty-twenty and we're building that church now and know very well the road up ahead will be much smoother.

Not only is Sipokni West known as a movie set for the film and video production of western movies, it has become one of the favored tourist destinations in southern Oklahoma.

Be sure and check out our complete website to see all we have to offer.

Sure glad ya here pardners. There will always be a good cup of coffee or cool drink waitin' on ya.
