Watch These Movies That Take Place In New England
Grab a warm mug of apple cider and your favorite blanket. It’s movie time, and these are some of the best movies that will put you in the best mindset for a vacation to Norwich, Vermont.
Ghost Story (1981)
Some parts of the 1981 movie Ghost Story were filmed in Woodstock and White River Junction —specifically, the Tally House and the bus station. This movie is also the final film starring Fred Astaire and Douglas Fairbanks.
The Skulls (2000)
Just across the river from The Norwich Inn is the town of Hanover and Dartmouth College. The college has a beautiful campus, which that compliment also extends to the entire town as well. The Skulls’ narrative takes place in Toronto, Ontario; however, many scenes were shot in the town of Hanover. Dartmouth College serves as a stand-in for the University of Toronto, with several notable buildings visible in the movie.
Me, Myself & Irene (2000)
Me, Myself & Irene was shot all over the state of Vermont and Rhode Island, so you get a sample of many different New England locations in one movie. The comedy stars Jim Carrey and Renée Zellweger in a story of a Rhode Island state trooper, played by Carrey, who suffers a psychotic breakdown. He later becomes involved with a woman named Irene, played by Zellweger, whose ex-boyfriend, a mobster, is hunting.
Star Trek (2009)
North of Norwich, there is a small town called Barre. In Barre, you will find the Rock of Ages Smith Quarry, where a small portion of the 2009 Star Trek movie was filmed. The scene is very early in the movie, where a young James T. Kirk is dangling from the edge of a massive and unique-looking cliff. That’s the Rock of Ages Smith Quarry.
