Where was A Quiet Place filmed? The house and all the filming locations
Posted by Ra Moon
Featuring a beautiful 19th-century farmhouse, A Quiet Place was filmed in a few towns in New York, in Herkimer, Dutchess, and Ulster Counties.
In a post-apocalyptic world, some mysterious creatures are hunting a family of survivors, tracking them through sound.
In a post-apocalyptic world, some mysterious creatures are hunting a family of survivors, tracking them through sound.
The Law of Safety #1 is to make no sound at all. They must live as quietly as possible... or terrible things will happen.
This acclaimed supernatural horror film was directed and starred by John Krasinski (known for his roles in the TV comedy The Office and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan) and also stars his real-life wife, the Dune star Emily Blunt.
Here is our soundless, almost spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of A Quiet Place. You can also find all the locations where the sequel, A Quiet Place 2, was filmed by following this link.
The A Quiet Place locations
The movie opens 89 days after the alien invasion with a scene filmed in the small town of Little Falls in Herkimer County.
East Main Street, lined with beautifully preserved 19th-century buildings, was given an eerie look for the shoot.

The exterior of the pharmacy was a carpet installer's office in Little Falls at 556 E Main Street.
However, the interior was actually filmed at the Beacon Natural Market in Beacon, NY.

One of the film's most tragic scenes was shot on a rusty metal bridge that has become one of the film's icons.
The Springtown Bridge on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in New Paltz is part of a 15-mile park that follows a railroad line that ceased service in 1997.

The A Quiet Place House
The farmhouse where the family lives is located in the town of Pawling, with West Dover Road traversing this 417-acre estate.
According to Pawling public records, the house was built in 1880 and is approximately 5,732 square feet, with nine beds and four full bathrooms.

But the family lives in the barn because, according to Krasinski, it has a dirt floor and they can be quiet.
The old, creaky house is too noisy, and in the movie, thanks to some CGI, a tree has fallen on the roof.

The town agreed to let a section of the Lakeside Park area, where the property is situated, grow over to give the location a more sinister feel.
Did you know that actress Millicent Simmonds, who plays Regan Abbott (Lee and Evelyn's deaf daughter), has been deaf since childhood due to a medication overdose?
The film contains only about 25 lines of spoken dialogue; sign language is used extensively.
Also in Pawling, the production filmed several parts of the movie on a soundstage built on location.
As Hudson Valley Magazine reported, the shoot took thirty-six days to complete.
A new metal silo was built, the film crew doubled the size of the barn, and the production bought 20 tons of corn to film several scenes.
The waterfalls featured in the movie are Buttermilk Falls, located on the outskirts of Little Falls.
It was not until post-production that the final look of the enigmatic creature was decided.
The same John Krasinski, dressed in a motion capture suit, played the monstrous alien for a few scenes.

The old man's house that Lee and his son Marcus pass by in the movie is located almost three miles south of Abbott's farm, near Green Mountain Lake.
The master of the horror story, Stephen King, said in a tweet that the movie "is an extraordinary piece of work. Terrific acting, but the main thing is the SILENCE, and how it makes the camera's eye open wide in a way few movies manage."

I found the old man's house that the father and son walk by in the movie. It is not far from the farm that was used in Pawling, New York. In Google Maps, search on the coordinates 41.580816, -73.610907. It will pinpoint the house.

I believe the house is in the town of Pawling not the village of Pawling.

Does anyone know the exact address of the house?

When you literally live where the film was cast it really hits you differently. Seeing seeing Little Falls portrayed the way it was is quite haunting.
I’ve walked on those trails on field trips in elementary school. Seeing a child literally murdered on the same bridge I tripped on…

Buttermilk Falls State Park is located near Ithaca, NY. It is over a hundred miles southwest of Little Falls, NY.
