What Were the Filming Locations for ‘The Pale Blue Eye’?

The following month, filming took place at Westminster College in New Wilmington — the quiet campus serves as a stand-in for West Point due to its breathtaking “Gothic-style buildings.” Ahead of filming, the school announced that any modern features in the area would be “removed or disguised to create the look of the academy during the 19th century.”

Regarding the decision to film at Westminster instead of the actual military academy, Pete Silbermann told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “West Point now looks like Silicon Valley, so you can’t quite make that transition [to 1830].”
