Lunch and Learn: Hollywood Behind Bars: The filming of The Shawshank Redemption at the Ohio State Reformatory In-Person
This 30-minute presentation takes you behind the scenes of the #1 movie of all time. You’ll explore the closing of the Reformatory, its three years of abandonment, the scouting process that brought filmmakers to Mansfield, and how the prison was ultimately saved from the wrecking ball. Discover the challenges and triumphs of filming in an abandoned prison, and learn how The Shawshank Redemption gave the Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society the momentum it needed to secure the site’s future as a museum and tourist attraction.
