“The Shawshank Redemption”
Anniversary Mansfield 800-642-8282
Plans are underway for a massive celebration of “The Shawshank Redemption” anniversary, featuring filming site tours, actor meet-ups and more.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of “The Shawshank Redemption,” which generations of movie buffs have adored since its 1994 release after being shot in its entirety in and around Mansfield, Ohio. This Aug. 16-18, travelers are encouraged to join cast members and other Shawshank die-hards in Mansfield to immerse themselves in the film’s iconic characters, sets and history.
Many actors from the film will be in attendance too, offering visitors the chance to meet their favorite Shawshank characters in person. To date, Bob Gunton (Warden Norton), William Sadler (Heywood), and Mark Rolston (Bogs) will be among the actors on hand.
“The Shawshank Redemption” anniversary will be celebrated with more than a dozen original film sites in and around Mansfield hosting tours and events throughout the entire weekend.
First on everyone’s list will be the Ohio State Reformatory, which starred in the movie as Shawshank State Prison. On the Hollywood Prison Tour, guests will go everywhere from inside Warden Norton’s office to Andy’s escape tunnel – and all points in between.
