Did Boardwalk Empire Film in Havre de Grace?

The penultimate episode in popular HBO series Boardwalk Empire's fourth season was called "Havre de Grace." But was it filmed here? Frank Dougherty asked on Patch.

Despite the slew of shows whose producers have come knocking, Boardwalk Empire was not among them, according to Havre de Grace Marketing and Tourism Manager Brigitte Peters.

"It was actually filmed in New York," Peters said of the Boardwalk Empire episode supposedly set in Havre de Grace.

"Many times we have had film productions come to Havre de Grace changing our town to someplace else," Peters said.

In 2012, Netflix producers transformed Havre de Grace into Gaffney, SC, for House of Cards. The TV series Young Americans (2001) as well as films From Within (2008) and Tuck Everlasting (2002) were filmed in Havre de Grace and staged as somewhere else too.

In Boardwalk, the opposite was true. "This time they did an episode in a series that actually called out Havre de Grace" [by name] but was not filmed here, Peters said.

The episode, which aired Nov. 17, included mention of the Susquehanna River and showed a fake "Havre de Grace" sign seen from the vantage point of a carriage.
