Pioneertown is one of Southern California's most unique attractions, originally constructed in 1946 by a group of Hollywood investors, including famed Old Hollywood actors Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. The town is intended to be a permanent Old West-style attraction, lined with 1880s-style false-front facades and tourist attractions related to the history of Hollywood films. More than 50 films and television series were filmed at the town throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Today, even though some parts of the village were damaged during a 2006 wildfire, the town is still a lively tourist attraction, showcasing mock gunfights regularly along its charming Mane Street. Pappy and Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace serves up delicious Western-style fare and attracts live music performances from major artists such as Robert Plant and Leon Russell.
