Was Gilmore Girls filmed in a set?

While some scenes of Gilmore Girls were filmed on soundstages, the majority of the show was filmed on location in Stars Hollow, Connecticut. This is actually the real town of Washington, Connecticut, which was transformed into the fictional Stars Hollow.

Here's a breakdown:

* Exterior shots: The town square, Luke's Diner, the Independence Inn, Miss Patty's Dance Studio, and many other locations were all filmed on location in Washington, Connecticut.

* Interior shots: Some interiors, like the diner and Lorelai's house, were built as sets. Others were filmed in real houses and businesses in the area.

So, while there were definitely sets involved, the show's heart and soul were brought to life through filming on location in a real town, which added to the charm and authenticity of the series.
