Corriganville ghost town once famed film site now deserted
Corriganville California once hosted major westerns and TV series like Gun Smoke Bat Masterson and Have Gun Will Travel. The 1600 acre site, acquired by Ray Corrigan in 1937 then sold to Bob Hope in 1965, was ravaged by the 1976 Simi Valley fire and has lain dormant with only an annual event today. In Watervliet New York Olive Perina at a steel plant is the only female foreman directing seven men and overseeing machines cutting and treating steel pipes. She started as a clerk after high school and became foreman in 1974.
