For the band, see Spahn Ranch Spahn Ranch is a 500 acre (2 km²) ranch situated at 1200 Santa Susana Pass Road, Chatsworth, California. Located in the Santa Susana Mountains, it is best known as one of the residences of Charles Manson and his group of followers commonly referred to as "The Family", who lived there in the spring of 1968. The ranch, once owned by silent film actor William S. Hart, was used to film many westerns, including Duel in the Sun and episodes of Bonanza and The Lone Ranger. A Western village movie set stood there until it was completely destroyed by a wildfire in November, 1970. The ranch got its name from dairy farmer George Spahn, who purchased the property in 1948. Mr. Spahn was living at the ranch in 1968, when Charles Manson and his "Family" moved in. Spahn himself nicknamed all the Manson girls including Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme and Susan "Sadie" Atki
