Cary: Interior shots
Rockford: Quarry scene
Woodstock: Woodstock’s town square was used to film many of the Groundhog Day celebrations purportedly taking place in Punxatawney, PA. The town relishes the brush with fame as their have posted plaques where the insurance salesman scene was filmed (plaque reads: Ned’s Corner) as well as the scene where Bill Murray falls through the hole in the street (plaque reads: Bill Murray stepped here). The Judge Charles P. Barnes House, built in 1894, was depicted as the bed-and-breakfast ("Cherry Street Inn") in the movie. Be mindful that this house is not a bed-and-breakfast in real life - it is a private residence. The downtown area where most of the filming takes place is still a vibrant area filled with many things to do and see. Restaurants, art galleries, museums, and specialty shops abound.
