Spring Creek Prop Farm, formerly Spring Creek Farm, is a 200-acre farm which is currently operated as filming location, prop house and costume rental for photography, motion picture and theater productions. It is owned by Len Ward and Chris Story and located at 8730 Shelby County Road 22 in Montevallo. The business warehouses more than 35,000 items from a broad range of historical and geographical eras which are kept in good order suited to filming. It specializes in military and public safety equipment, including vehicles, arms, protective gear and uniforms.
Ward's parents acquired the farm, which once stretched for 2,500 acres, in 1972. After graduating with a degree in forestry and agriculture at Auburn University, he began raising dairy cattle. Through his involvement with the Main Street Players community theater, he found himself regularly supplying props and gradually turned to making it into a full-time business by the early 2010s. Story came on board as a mechanic and technician for the farm's collection of military vehicles.
