When they need 1880s streets that aren’t full of Starbucks and Wi-Fi, they head to Troy, New York. This city has whole blocks that look like they’ve been in a time capsule since 1885. It’s the Hollywood of the Hudson Valley, minus the Botox.
They film the bustling street scenes and the Russell’s house facade here. Imagine your own downtown, but every storefront is a candle shop or a haberdashery. It’s like walking onto the set of a Civil War reenactment, but the snacks are better.
One local told me their coffee shop was closed for a week to film a carriage chase. The barista came back and said, “The horses were nicer than most of my customers.” That’s the Gilded Age spirit: priorities.
