Pioneertown
Pioneertown was founded in 1946 by a group of Hollywood personalities led by cowboy actors Dick Curtis and Dick Hayden as a permanent 1880s town for filming Western movies. On Sept. 1, 1946 Roy Rogers broke ground from the first buildings, assisted by the Sons of the Pioneers from whom the town takes its name. Over 200 movies and TV serials were filmed here, as were an unknown number of background shots for other productions. TV Westerns, including the Gene Autry Show, Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley, and Adventures of Judge Roy Bean were filmed here. Pioneer Bowl, Hayden Ranch and Mane Street have been designated by the State Dept. of Parks and Recreation as historical resources.
Today Mane Street still retains its Old West image. The Pioneertown Post Office is said to be the most photographed Post Office in the entire United States.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible. Including your gps device in the picture is not neccesary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable. If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
