When the Woolsey Fire swept through California in 2018, it damaged the historic Paramount Ranch, a working movie ranch and the only National Park Service site that interprets film history for the public.

Did Paramount Ranch burn down?

Paramount Ranch, along with its popular “western town” movie set built from 1927-43, was almost completely burned in the 2018 Woolsey Fire. The park and the town had served as important filming locations for movies and television since 1927.

Will Paramount Ranch be rebuilt?

Reconstruction. The National Park Service will rebuild four of the historic structures that were destroyed in a project worth $12M. The project includes replacing infrastructure such as water and electricity as well as improving the parking lot.
