PIONEERTOWN
PIONEERTOWN was founded in 1946 by a group of Hollywood personalities, lead by cowboy actors Dick Curtis and Russell Hayden as a permanent 1880's town for filming western movies.
On September 1st, 1946 Roy Rogers broke ground on the first building, assisted by The Sons of the Pioneers, for whom the town was named.
Over 200 movie and TV serials were filmed here, as were an unknown number of background shots for other productions.
TV Shows such as Gen Autry, Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley and the Adventures of Judge Roy Bean were filmed here.
Pioneer Bowl, Hayden Ranch and Mane Street have been designated by the State Department of Parks & Recreation as Historical Resources.
