Take a Walking Tour of Old Town Newhall
As you walk down the tree-lined streets of Old Town Newhall, you are surrounded by more than the natural beauty and unique architectural character that defines Santa Clarita’s oldest historic neighborhood. You will also find yourself immersed in the rich film history that was born in our Valley. The best way to explore it all is on the Newhall Walking Tour, which is available to help you uncover the secrets that connect film past and present right on your smartphone.
When you open the app or visit the website, you will find that you can truly customize your experience. Whether you want to focus on places of historical significance or visit your favorite actor’s spot on the Walk of Western Stars, you are just one click or tap away. In addition to these categories, you will also see the option to view a variety of notable film locations in Newhall.
During your self-guided tour, be sure to take in the sights, tastes and sounds of Main Street, which have been featured in a number of Hollywood productions, including the film “A Wrinkle in Time” and dozens of television shows, like “NCIS” and “Criminal Minds.” Veterans Historical Plaza on Walnut Street is also a frequent filming location for “NCIS” and was also featured in the pilot episode of “Mayans M.C.”
You will also want to look down at your feet while walking along Main Street to see the gorgeous bronze and terrazzo tiles of the Walk of Western Stars. The Newhall Walking Tour will help you find specific locations so you can take a photo with stars honoring Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and John Wayne.
Some more recent projects that have filmed in Newhall include:
The Muppets Mayhem, which filmed at Triscenic, Jimmy Deans and throughout Old Town Newhall
Ted Lasso season finale (Ted exits a car in Newhall to his American home)
Mayans MC Series finale
I hope you will take the time to discover the film history of our City by embarking on the Newhall Walking Tour. You can learn more about the tour online by visiting WalkingTour.OldTownNewhall.com.
