Massachusetts Mansions & Asylums on Film

From a Gilded Age hunting lodge to an abandoned state hospital, four inland towns that keep supplying Hollywood's old money and old wounds

Film crews come to Easton for streets that can pretend to be anywhere. Here is what they used. Four stops over 118.4 miles, about four and a half hours of driving. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the two MassRoam tours in Easton, this is the film-and-TV one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
