Background

The military fort is an 1800s-era recreation constructed in 1952 by Paramount for the film Pony Express. It was later used in many western movies with additions and modifications made as needed. During the filming of The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again, much of the fort was destroyed by fire in a special effects sequence that grew out of control. Some of the fort remains in need of refurbishment. The fort has been abandoned and not been rebuilt since then.
