    Annual Cowboy Festival hosted by Melody Ranch
    Jamie D.

    I went here for Santa Clarita's annual Cowboy Festival. It's a pretty cool place. I hear that the HBO show Deadwood used their sets. They had a little museum in one of the sound stages with a lot of stuff from the movies and shows they've shot there: cars, tanks, I believe stuff from The Incredible Hulk, and memorabilia circling around their apparent claim to fame, Gene Autry. I was focused more on the barbecued food, stuff for sale and the entertainment stages while I was there, but you do have to admire the cool buildings on their "Main Street"... a saloon, a sheriff's office with jail cell, shops, etc. I don't know if the ranch is open to the public at other times during the year. They have pictures and more information on their website (although some of it's kind of outdated).

    With EJ Stephens from Newhallywood Tours.

    Went to the Cowboy Festival (3rd time) and had a great time. If you like old westerns, it's a must see. if not, don't bother.

    The Place- Very cool place with an impressive collection of classic cars!…read more I am not particularly into classic cars but thought I would check this place out because it had great reviews and was pretty local to where I am and it did not disappoint. There offer two types of admission tickets. The $5 one is where you walk around yourself but only have access to one of the buildings. It is well worth it to pay the $20 for the guided tour where you get to see both buildings. Tour takes about 90 minutes and is at a leisurely pace. The 2nd building is 3 stories but does have an elevator if needed. Parking- Large private lot with plenty of parking.

    As will be apparent when you read other reviews here along with this one and view all the…read morephotographs, this is a beautiful niche interest museum. We had out of town guests who had this place on their list as it is one of a kind. First of all, it is enormous, spotlessly clean and perfectly lit to show off a jaw-dropping collection of vintage cars. I am not a collector or even a fan but I appreciate elegant style and beauty. Also, the attention to detail. While contemporary vehicles boast amazing electronic capabilities, the craftsmanship and love that went into the conveyances here showcase the mentality of an earlier time when quality and longevity were prized above price and novelty. There is not much for me to add. One tiny annoyance this weekend was a strange and very audible buzzing sound from a failing light fixture. That can be remedied easily and I hope the Nethercutt staff will take care of it. Otherwise, an exceptional way to spend some time on a quiet weekend.

    Pioneer Oil Refinery - The true address is 23802 Pine St, as shown on the mailbox.  The refinery is visible at the end of the dirt road.

    23800 Pine St, then about 50 yards east up a dirt road…read more If you use Yelp's address, you will never find the Pioneer Oil Refinery--there is no 238 Pine Street. Instead try 23658-23918 Pine St Newhall, CA 91321 in your Maps app. When you get there, the gate for the dirt road to the refinery is marked 23802 Pine St. on a mailbox. When you find the sign for Valencia Building Materials Company, Inc., you are there. I have uploaded pictures of where to turn. (If you see the Newhall County Water Company, you have gone too far up Pine.) Turn east up the dirt road and the refinery will be at the right. The back side of the refinery (which faces towards Pine St.) can be seen at all hours, but the front only during the business hours of the neighbors. Right now, the refinery's grounds are fenced off from the public, but you can get real close.

    This is one of the oldest remaining refineries in the world. The Pioneer Oil Refinery was built by…read morethe California Star Oil Works which was later acquired by Standard Oil of California and eventually became Chevron. The city of Santa Clarita acquired the Pioneer Oil Refinery property as a gift from Chevron in 1997. The city intends on restoring it and turning it into a public park. The funding will come from the fees associated with the soon to be developed Gate King Industrial Park, which will surround it. Nearby is the Gate King Open Space is open and has some nice hiking trails. The site is fun to visit if you are in the area. It's right off Newhall and the 14 fwy near the William Hart Museum. It located down Pine St along on an undeveloped dirt driveway in an industrial area. The site is fenced off and unfortunately not open to the public. The location is also a California Historical Landmark, No. 72. The historic marker is located about three miles west of the site at the southeast corner of the intersection of Lyons and I-5. The plaque inscription reads: NO. 172 PIONEER OIL REFINERY - In 1875 the Star Oil Company, one of the predecessors of the Standard Oil Company of California, drilled its first Pico Canyon well, which yielded about one hundred barrels per day. The discovery resulted in the erection of the first commercial oil refinery in California the following year.

    Bowers Cave, also known as Cave of the San Martins, is a little-known cave that sits high near the…read moretop of a steep mountain at the northeastern border of the Chiquita Canyon Landfill located in Castaic. It has been described as the most significant archaeological site on the North American continent. In 1884 two brothers, McCoy and Everette Pyle, discovered a "treasure trove" of Native American artifacts that had been hidden away by Tataviam Indians hundreds of years earlier. Shortly after the discovery the items were sold to Stephen Bowers who later resold most of the collection to the Peabody Museum at Harvard where it is still kept today. Why the cave is named after the person who purchased the artifacts and not the people who discovered them is beyond me. Nevertheless, it is still an interesting piece of history in the most unexpected place. The location can be seen from a distance from inside the landfill. I would never advise visiting the site without permission, but if you did, I would hike from a northern approach, preferably on a Sunday. Make your way towards the large water tanks and you will eventually spot a path that will take you to the backside of the mountain. The climb to the cave looked way too steep for me so I chose to appreciate it from a distance. I am really curious whether or not the sandstone carvings seen in historic photographs are still present. You can read a lot more about the cave on SCVTV's web site and there is also a very odd 20 minute documentary that you can find online.

    We had a killer time at this festival, and it really feels like they curate the vibe here so well -…read morethe music was excellent throughout and had options for all different flavors of "cowboy" music, from the single dude with the guitar all the way to a full-blown western band and country rock outfits. The organizations they brought in were cool and helpful! I'm going to have to come to Santa Clarita's series celebrating different nations, for instance. My wife and I particularly enjoyed the historical elements - the reenactments of the old western trail camp was amazing...everybody was wearing period-appropriate attire and it was so cool to see the covered wagons, lovingly restored and outfitted with chuckwagon supplies. My only hangup here is the same I often have with festivals here in SoCal, which is that the food vendors are basically price gouging. I had trouble finding any food item that was under 20 dollars that wasn't a drink, and many were smaller portions than you'd get from down the street for 10-12 bucks at the same quality level. If they could figure that out better, I think this would be a 5 out of 5 for me. If they don't, I guess we'll plan to eat before coming. Either way, I'll be back. This was a blast!

Looked but could not find any food truck selling hot dogs . Kids don't uusually like the spiic/adult foods. finally ordered a Taco Cone and found out it was 12 dollars for what was the size of one slice of a pizza AND they charged us $5.00 for a bottle of water that I can buy a full case of 24 bottles for $5.00. This seems like gourging. Most of the food places did NOT have prices posted at all. We have always gone to this event but will think about NOT going ....next year.....
