The Andy Griffith Show - 40 Acre Backlot Today

In 1976 the old 40 acre backlot was demolished when it was sold for development into an industrial park. It was on this lot where the outdoor set for Mayberry, NC,  once existed.  It was also home to Gomer Pyle USMC, Hogan's Heroes, Gone With the Wind, King Kong, Tarzan.  It is located in Culver City, California at the foot of Blair Hill in the Baldwin Hills.  Ballona Creek was the border on the south side off of Jefferson Blvd.  Today, nothing is left of the old backlot, everything is gone but one can walk around and imagine what once was.
