Dallas (1978)

The Ewing mansion from Dallas, Southfork Ranch, Parker, Texas The happy exception on this list: you are allowed to walk right up to this one. Southfork Ranch sits about half an hour outside Dallas and runs guided tours of the Ewing Mansion and a Dallas Legends exhibit year-round, so you can stand where J.R. schemed instead of craning over a hedge. Joe Duncan built the house for his family in 1970, and while the show filmed its exteriors here, the indoor scenes were shot on studio sets in California. Check the ranch's calendar before you go, since it closes for private events.
