Here are a few more pictures from the Taking Woodstock set in New Lebanon, NY. The map below shows exactly where the set is since most people have probably never heard of New Lebanon!
Route 20 is one of the last great 2 lane highways, like Route 66 only in Upstate NY. And New Lebanon’s location is especially appealing because it is just a few miles from the Berkshires. Route 20 and the Berkshires offer plenty to do, antique shops, modern ruins, restaurants, and outdoor activities. It really is an interesting, beautiful part of the country!
In our first Taking Woodstock post we explained what the set was (an old motel set back off of Route 20) and what was around it (nothing). This post includes more pictures of them filming a scene in which an actor (who we recognize and can not place so if you know who he is please leave a comment and let us know) gets into his car outside of the motel. They also filmed exterior shots of just the motel from the road.
There were also a few old cars waiting for their close up so I am assuming they were filming more scenes later on. We didn’t see Demetri but we have seen on a few other blogs and message boards that he has been there.
Finally, here is the schedule of shooting at this location courtesy of New Lebanon.
(restaurant where we saw Zoe Kazan)
The ‘mystery actor’ is Edward Hibbert, he plays a motel patron in the first scene of the movie.
