Kaintuck Territory

Kaintuck Territory was a theme park located near Benton, Kentucky, United States. The park was situated on the east side of U.S. Highway 641, about a mile northeast of U.S. Highway 68. It was largely conducted around an Old West theme. It was built and operated by Walter Sill. The hourly gunfights were little vignettes of the Wild West, complete with people shot off roofs. They were written and directed by Willard W. Willingham, a veteran Western movie actor, writer, and stuntman with experience from dozens of movies. Movie actor Rory Calhoun was present for the grand opening. It was marketed primarily on a regional basis as a day-trip destination for those living within an easy driving distance. It had a steam train, a stagecoach ride, variety acts such as knife throwing, ventriloquists and magicians, a silent movie palace, and a funhouse. Other activities were Motocross races and Country music concerts.

Kaintuck Territory opened June 15, 1967.
In 1969 a three-day "Music Festival U.S.A." was held at Kaintuck Territory, with pop, rock and country musicians competing for prizes including an RCA recording session with Chet Atkins. The venue was a natural amphitheater which seated ten thousand people, with performances on three stages.
