When Hollywood Came to Silver Reef
Presented by Silver Reef Museum at Silver Reef Museum, LeedsSeptember 28, 2024
Through the years, Washington County’s rugged and colorful scenery has been a natural attraction for many Hollywood filmmakers. Scenes from two particular movies - “Gunpoint” (1964 starring Audrey Murphy), and The Appaloosa (1965) starring Marlon Brando - were filmed at Silver Reef and are thus a little-known part of The Reef’s unique and interesting history.

About The Presenter: Ken Howell
Ken Howell, along with his father Jack and brother Breck, lived at Silver Reef (population 3) during the decade of the 1960s, long before its residential development.
Following a church mission and education at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and court reporting school in Denver, Ken enjoyed a 40-year career as a circuit court reporter for the South Dakota Unified Judicial System, based in Sturgis, South Dakota. Upon retiring in 2013, they left the beautiful Black Hills and moved to northern Utah to be closer to their family. Ken and his wife Celia are the proud parents of six children, fourteen grandchildren, and one great-grandson.
