Paramount Movie Ranch - Western TV Town / Birthplace of 3D Films

Ойын-сауық

A visit to the Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills California . Home to a multitude of productions over the years such as Dr Quinn Medicine Woman , Westworld and many more . Also was what some consider to be the filming location of the birthplace of color 3D films . Best part about the property is that it's free and open to the public .

    Paramount Ranch is a National Park, part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. It is open to the public daily, with the rare exception of an unusual circumstance, for free. And, parking is free. It is best to stay away from snakes or other wildlife, for yours and their safety. And, remember, as a Federal park, messing with anything in the park is against the law.

We toured in the early 90s when the animators were drawing for some movie called The Lion King. We didnt know or understand at the time what the movie was about, but we thought it was cool that all the animators desks had large plastic figures of lions, Hyenas, Monkeys, and a parrot.

    The National Park Service has a plan in the works to create a "contact station" that would be open on the weekends and staffed with volunteers or NPS personnel to talk with visitors and share history. Occasionally, volunteer historians like myself will hang out on a weekend day, but right now that is only random. The Park Service does have history walks through the town about once a month. See the official Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area for the activities calendar. I should add that there are official NPS staff on site, if not seen in the town, for security purposes.

    So cool that they just let the public wander around! I love movie sets and stuff like this! When you were talking about MGM Studios at the end, it reminded me of something I was saying in one of my videos at a movie set. Not to connect everything to Disney but MGM really had an impact on me as a kid. I’ve been obsessed with behind the scenes and the movie making process ever since I first went to MGM. Shame it’s all gone now :( At least real backlots and sets still exist at other places though! Thanks for bringing us along on this adventure!

    ADVENTURES with Christian, an awesome thing about Paramount Ranch is that it is open to the public even when filming is going on and you are usually allowed to watch from a safe distance! We don't publicize upcoming film shoots, but if you happen to hear about one or stumble upon one, you can watch. Part of the purpose of allowing filming to take place there is to give the public the chance to see how it's done. I've seen some pretty awesome people and things!

    Until Dr. Quinn used the ranch/park, it was very unknown except to the folks in the immediate surrounding communities & Ren Faire alumni. DQ upped the awareness a lot, even globally. We still get Dr. Quinn fans from around the country and around the world. Then, Huell Howser filmed a California's Golden Parks episode about the ranch, which is shown on KCET about once a year since the first airing in 2010 & AAA has now put the ranch on the Huell Howser map, so that has helped. Westworld has brought us a lot of new visitors since it is one of the few filming locations that fans can actually visit and walk around!

    Thank you, Adam, for a nicely spotlighting Paramount Ranch! We are so lucky that it was saved from certain doom back in 1980 when the National Park Service bought the property and a wonderful piece of film and television history was saved for the public to enjoy. We are also fortunate that the Park Service continues to allow and encourage filming to take place, ensuring that new history is added to the old. The original incarnation of this Western town was built in the early 1950's by the William Hertz family. The first television use of the town that we have documented thus far is numerous episodes of The Cisco Kid's final season. Other popular Westerns like Bat Masterson, Tombstone Territory and Gunsmoke also shot portions of episodes at the ranch. The town was the "hometown" for the duration of the series Hotel de Paree, Klondike, Best of the West, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (interiors as well as exteriors) and Hulu's Quick Draw. The town was featured as Mintern, CA and in one episode, Tipton, OK, in HBO's Carnivale (the Carnivale photo on the map display in the town that you spotlighted is my photo!). It wasn't exactly the "hometown", but, as many have noted, the town and a purpose-built church played a very pivotal role in HBO's Westworld. The ranch continues to be used for movies, tv movies, television series and now streaming service series, music videos, student films, short films and still photo shoots. And, the nice thing is, the public is allowed to watch! The Park Service is presently working on some things to enhance the experience of park visitors. Anyone really interested in the history of Paramount Ranch should keep an eye on the official Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area website, as we occasionally have special historical programs or activities that offer the opportunity to learn about various aspects of the ranch's history! Also, I posted a link in another comment to our NPS lists of movies and tv shows that have been documented to have done filming at the ranch, for those who are interested.
