THEN & NOW — Back to the Future 3 Set Visit — Hill Valley 1885 — Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd

Then & Now set visit — rare Hill Valley 1885 set footage from Back to the Future Part 3!

We were given access to this incredible set in March 1990, following the completion of principal photography in January 1990. Sadly, these amazing sets can no longer be found as they were destroyed in a fire in 1996.

Living in the area at the time, we were all very aware of the large Back to the Future 3 production. On the set, we were fortunate to have one of the productions' extras along for the tour to help us out. This video was taken before we had seen the completed film.

The clock tower was lost to wind damage, but virtually everything else, including the saloon, iconic train depot, bank, butcher shop, jail, undertaker, Joe Statler's horse stables, and Doc Brown's workshop, remained for our visit.

This film set was located on Red Hills Ranch near the town of Sonora, California.
