Where was Gene Autry TV show filmed?
Gene Autry's TV show, "The Gene Autry Show," was filmed at Melody Ranch in Placerita Canyon, California. Placerita Canyon is located about 30 miles north of Los Angeles, in the Angeles National Forest. The ranch was originally built in 1937 by actor William S. Hart, who used it as a setting for his Western movies. In 1940, the ranch was purchased by Gene Autry, who used it as a location for his TV show and movies until 1956. The ranch has also been used as a filming location for other Western films and TV shows, such as "The Lone Ranger" and "Gunsmoke." Today, Melody Ranch is open to the public as a tourist attraction.
