  • Bonanza was Really Filmed at this Place ?

  • @Roadracer987654321 From what I understand, they shot a few sequences there in the last years of production. The TV movies were all shot there.

  • how many rooms were upstairs and is their a layout/floorplan for the house?

  • Believe it or not, there were no rooms upstairs at the real ranch house. The stairs led to nowhere. Poor planning on Adam's part I guess. They actually shot all the upstair shots at a studio.

  • I wish I could go there. Why did they close it?

  • Sold it to a developer who I believe in planning to build homes there. Too bad it could not have been sved.

  • Always wondered exactly how the bunk house was attached to the house. Sometimes I thought it was attached to the barn and other times to the house.

  • @BonanzaDude553 thanks for the info--how many times we do hear about greedy prop developers cashing in--and ruining a place of shrine to the bonanza -western lovers/fans--these tv props and locations should be govt/state protected--we dont want the mgm experience -sold of to gamblers of las vegas

  • the tv series was shot at 2 studios WB and Paramount. and the lake scenes were real. they shot the next generation partly here..when did this museum close?

  • @Roadracer987654321

    No it was not filmed there. I understand the 'Return of the Cartwrights' was filmed there in 1983. It was a built attraction and sadly no longer open for tourists. The opening sequence of the Cartwrights on horses in front of Lake Tahoe is the only real 'Bonanza' filming done in the Lake Tahoe area.

  • QUE SERIES TAN LINDAS, NO COMO LAS DE AHORA.

  • Visited the ranch 21 Mars 1999, hard snow , lots of pictures, 6X7 camera

  • I love the video. Wonderful. I'm excited really. Going there is the dream of my life. To know, to walk where they walked these great, dear and unforgettable actors, this great family Cartwright those who brought them forever in the heart. Never lose hope. I'm from Argentina ... is difficult but not impossible to get to go someday.
