Connecticut Town Highlighted for ‘Hallmark Movie Set’ Vibe

Some towns around Connecticut are most definitely hallmark-y. As we all know, Gilmore Girls was based on a Connecticut town, and many different towns around here were used for movie sets, including some actual Hallmark movies.

When thinking of the "Hallmark" towns around Connecticut, some that come to mind are New Milford, Washington (of course) since it's based off of Star's Hollow, Mystic, Old Saybrook and one that I'm a new frequent flyer to, Middlefield. All of these towns have something special to them. A quaint charm that feels very small town with charming settings and festive vibes.

Chester, Connecticut Highlighted for 'Hallmark Movie Set' Vibe

Just recently, another Connecticut town was called out for its setting. Chester, Connecticut was recently shown off in a new Instagram video for its mini movie set-like town. In the video, many different things about this small town were called out. The unbeatable restaurants, ice cream shops, a brewery, bar and grille, and then Connecticut's first romance-only bookstore, Montgomery & Taggert Bookshop.

Looking at the video, you can see the little Hallmark vibes that Chester gives. Chester is located near Essex, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, etc. It's interesting because these towns are talked about so much, but aren't visited as often.
