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.
