Spahn Ranch




The Spahn Ranch is a 500 acre Ranch at 1200 Santa Susana Pass Road in the Santa Susana Mountains . It is best known as one of the residences of Charles Manson and his group of followers commonly referred to as "The Family", who lived there in the spring of 1968 .

The ranch, once owned by silent film actor William S. Hart , was used to film many Westerns , including '' Duel In The Sun '' and episodes of '' Bonanza '' and '' The Lone Ranger ''. A Western village movie set formerly stood there, but was destroyed by a Wildfire in 1970 .

The ranch gets its name from dairy farmer George Spahn, who purchased the ranch in 1948 .
