Travel Directions:
From Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), take Hwy 21 north to Township Road 263. Turn right (east) on 263. Rockyford is at the intersection of 263 and Range Road 233. JT’s Bar, now “The Pub on Main” (previously Dun Rovens Pub) is on Main Street at 1st Avenue, opposite the Riverton Post Office building. See:

Remarks:
It was once a mute witness to motion picture history in the making. Today, the owners of the edifice known around the world as “JT’s Bar” sell prepared sandwiches, beer, and sodas under the far less recognizable name, “The Pub on Main.” Its owners are plainly in need of customers who, like its former namesake did, “drink a lot.”

Look next door and see the exterior of the Childress Dance Hall. The street to your left leads to the Electra and Childress Rodeo grounds, approximately two blocks away.

Important:
Always obtain appropriate permission before entering private property.
