Location Filming

ONE PROPERTY, MULTIPLE LOCATIONS

Decatur’s Legacy Park is a 77 acre site featuring a 150 year old orphanage with 34 historic buildings.

Organized primarily around a central spine and loop road are early 20th century stone houses, an historic school building, renovated office spaces, an idyllic stone chapel, stone barns and workshops, and large assembly rooms. Natural features like our lake, meadows and forests complement the campus.

From southern small town life to the Eastern Block, period pieces to modern adventures, the campus offers environments suitable to all manner of story lines.

Easy access is available throughout the property, and most locations are well suited to undisturbed filming opportunities.
