January 5, 200917 yr I went to dukesfest 08 and didnt have time to look at all of the filming locations well just got to drive through conyers. Since gas alot cheaper I talked to my wife and my cousin and I are gonna drive down here in a month or two. Really excited, just wanted to share the news.
January 5, 200917 yr Sweet dukefan1!!Do you know how to post pictures on the HazzardNet? It would be awesome to see updated photos of some of those locations. Maybe you could attend church at the old Boar's Nest!!
January 5, 200917 yr Author yeah i can post pics i guess i should post some pics of dukesfest 05 and 08 too huh
January 5, 200917 yr YES. Where in Ohio are you from? I got family in Lima and Springfield...and friends in various places too...
January 6, 200917 yr YES. Where in Ohio are you from? I got family in Lima and Springfield...and friends in various places too...WOW!! You have family in Lima too. So do I.
January 6, 200917 yr Author my dads gf's family live right on the other side of the the ohio penns. border right up by lake erie. I will have to find out what the name of the town is. WOW what a small world it really is.
January 7, 200917 yr Is anyone else aware that they have now added a steeple to the Boars nest in GA.?Sad but true.
January 8, 200917 yr I had heard there was a steeple on the Boars Nest now. I wanted to see more of GA while going to Dukesfest 08 but we didn't have enough time.
January 8, 200917 yr Yea, a group I know went recently & checked locals & saw it just a few wks ago. Its progress and all but I still think it kinda sucks a lil ya know?
January 8, 200917 yr I was pretty sad to see how different the Boar's Nest looked when Ben Jones and Sonny Shroyer visited it on the special features on one of the series DVDs (I'm not sure which season that was, does anybody know?) Well, I guess it could be worse. Imagine how terrible it would have been if it would have been torn down to build a housing development or something like that. I'm wondering if Dukes tourists go to church services there just for the opportunity to step inside the building.
January 8, 200917 yr Author yeah it did look alot different that was in season 6 where enos and cooter went back to the boars nest. I cant wait to see it, I wish I was rich I could buy it and turn it back into the boars nest, like it should be.
January 8, 200917 yr Author Oh does anyone know if the barns and things are still standing at the duke farm?
January 8, 200917 yr Here are a few shos froma trip I took down in 2007:John Schneider walking round the Boars Nest lot.
January 8, 200917 yr Yeah the Boar's Nest was turned into a chapel but its not used for that anymore....rumor has it our favourite, tender hearted Duke boy seen above is planning on buying it and restoring it to former glory...just rumour of course...what really saddened me is the state of the Duke Farm now...its so unbelievably sad.
January 8, 200917 yr Yeah the Boar's Nest was turned into a chapel but its not used for that anymore....rumor has it our favourite, tender hearted Duke boy seen above is planning on buying it and restoring it to former glory...just rumour of course...what really saddened me is the state of the Duke Farm now...its so unbelievably sad.BoJames LOL I actually pulled the pic back & cropped the crud out of it LOL.....For those in the know you can imagine who it was!I seriously doubt he got it because the steeple was JUST added recently but from waht I have heard I wouldnt put it past him.Yes the farmhouse is barely standing, rumors floated round it too was going to be restored but that turned out to be false. It is in sad sad shape for sure!
January 8, 200917 yr It was at Dukesfest 08 we found out that its no longer a chapel and that its for sale...land developers want it apparently but they cant build there for some legal reasons...the land is protected or something....thats why John was interested in it, he was going to buy it, restore it and then...well he didnt get that far lol
January 9, 200917 yr This is probably a little tougher of a question but does anybody know if any buildings from the show in southern California are still standing?
January 9, 200917 yr Author I know I heard that the were tearing one part down some ranch where alot of dukes was filmed to build houses I think.
January 9, 200917 yr Author The rest of it was filmed in the backlot at warner brothers saw some pictures of the wb tour and I recognized the bank in doh and parts of the town square.
January 9, 200917 yr The original buildings were just a soundstage I think John said at some point....I doubt that that buildings from California are still there but if you go to Gerogia all the buildings that the set was based on are there.
