From Frankenstein to M*A*S*H, Elvis to Bogart, race cars and crowds by the thousands - 
it all happened here.
"Three Magical Miles" may be the most unique local history book in Southern California.
This fascinating look at a small but historically rich area of the Malibu mountains covers a three mile radius around Malibou Lake where a key scene from the 1931 classic "Frankenstein" was shot, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Studios had their enormous location ranches, Ronald Reagan entertained dignitaries at his pre-Santa Barbara ranch and simians ran the world in the post-apocalyptic "Planet of the Apes". 
Two iconic locations still draw visitors from around the world: the outdoor M*A*S*H set where the TV series was filmed and the Rockstore, the legendary gathering spot for motorcycling enthusiasts from across the country and across the seas.
From the 1920's through the 1950's, thousands came here regularly to bathe in the therapeutic mineral waters at Seminole Hot Springs and paddle boats, picnic and dance the night away at Lake Enchanto - a precursor to Disneyland.
The Three Magical Miles may be the only place in California where a former general store and one-room school house from the 1920's and a 1940's post office still stand and are in use today. Here, you can really touch the past!  

"Three Magical Miles" has over 300 photographs from 1913 to the present day.  Foreword by Zev Yaroslavsky, Supervisor Third District, County of Los Angeles
Remnants of a once-famous race track still exist. If you listen carefully, you can hear the roar of the engines. 5,000 acres of beautiful hills and trails where many films were shot by Fox and Paramount Studios are now open to the public and waiting for you to explore.
