I just went to see the tree last month- glad I did. Very sad.

[DarkHelmet]

Darn. I was planning a trip there soon.

That's to bad

I just went in June and saw the tree, the cabin from the beginning of the film, the road Red walks into Buxton and toured the Mansfield Reformatory. It was a great trip, I'm so glad I went.

Here are a few pictures:

Yeah. "Own a piece of the Shawshank Oak Tree"

I'd be in for some acorns.

I'd love to see the prison, but the tree is meh. Unless, of course, there's a tin buried beneath it that's full of the warden's cash.

oh no!.....an old tree was damaged by a storm..what ever will we do?

 

[Moviefreak]

Yeah. "Own a piece of the Shawshank Oak Tree"

I thought that when I read this two days ago, there is definitely a market for that.

Sickens me when movie locations are heavily modified or destroyed - by man or nature.

You're adorable!

It was only $1,000 anyway. The prison is well worth the drive.

Fun Fact: For The Shawshank Redemption (1994), American Humane Association monitored the filming of scenes involving Brooks' crow. During the scene where he fed it a maggot, the AHA objected on the grounds that it was cruel to the maggot, and required that they use a maggot that had died from natural causes. One was found, and the scene was filmed.

 

[binkleywalker]

Natural causes? That's some serious CSI work there.

 

[mez7]

You're adorable!

thank you!

Yes, but that'd be about 6,500 these days. How far of a trip did you have to make?

I'm in Dayton, Ohio, so it was 2 1/2 hours. Saw the court room, the lumber company, the cabin, the bank, the tree, the reformatory, the bus station, the road into 'Buxton', the road the bus is seen driving down, the half way house, the park where Brooks fed the pigeons, the street with the pawn shop and where Brooks almost gets hit by the car.

It was a great trip. I did it in two days, traveled at my own pace.
