On the way from Acton to Santa Barbara we stopped in a little town called Fillmore. Luckily they have a tiny but very nice regional park called Kenney Grove. It was a really nice, peaceful place to stop for a long weekend.

In town there is a cute little winery by the name of Giessinger Winery. They are members of Harvest Hosts and even though we didn’t stay the night, we wanted to show them some love by stopping by and sampling! It was a really cute little winery with some nice wines, and a small folk group playing in the background.

Interestingly, Fillmore is known in the film industry for the Fillmore and Western Railway Company. They provide a variety of locomotive and train equipment to the TV and Film Industry. The railyard has been used to film over 400 Movies, TV shows, and Commercials. Some familiar works are Three Amigos, Seabiscuit, Get Smart, CSI, NCIS, and Criminal Minds. They were filming something while we were there but we have no idea what. Unfortunately they no longer do tours or train rides. So all we could do is drive by 😢
