Lone Pine Film History Museum
The Lone Pine Film History Museum: $5 admission, tons of stuff to look at, and your receipt gets you back in for the evening movie. The museum's website. The whole museum is focused on films shot in the Alabama Hills and the surrounding area.

From the days when your average kid knew what a writ was and could get excited at the prospect of serving one. This is part of a series that also included Hopalong Cassidy Becomes A Notary Public and Hopalong Cassidy Joins A Class Action Suit.
