Description
Paramount Ranch, Agoura general store and Hotel.
** Paramount Ranch Park was destroyed in the Woolsey Fire November 9, 2018. The only surviving buildings were the church and train station. **
** November 16, 2018
The National Park Service hopes to rebuild Western Town at Paramount Ranch within two years. **
In 1927, Paramount Studios purchased a 2,700-acre ranch on Medea Creek in the Santa Monica Mountains, between Malibu, California and the Conejo Valley. The studio built numerous large-scale sets on the ranch, including a huge replica of early San Francisco and an Old West town. It posed as Tombstone, Arizona and Dodge City, Kansas, as well as Tom Sawyer's Missouri, 13th-century China, and many other locales and eras around the world.
It is now Paramount Ranch Park in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
The location remains an active filming area.
