TV Filming at Corriganville


A few years back I published 'Wait for me, Wild Bill!' -- Chatsworth's TV Westerns http://a-drifting-cowboy.blogspot.com/2012/03/wait-for-me-wild-bill-chatsworths-tv.html and it has been one of my more popular posts.

Now it's time to look at  Ray Corrigan's Ranch -- also known as Corriganville -- which was another busy filming location for TV Westerns and other TV adventure series from 1949 through the 1960s and beyond.
