Lexington
independent city in Virginia, United States
United States · 37.7840, -79.4428
Lexington is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
1 production was filmed at 1 place inside Lexington rather than at Lexington itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“Ferrier's house was filmed in Bayonne, New Jersey (with a soundstage doubling the interior); meanwhile, the valley war sequence was filmed in Lexington, Virginia and Mystery Mesa in California.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Lexington as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Movies filmed elsewhere in Lexington
1 production shot at 1 place inside Lexington, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Lexington itself.
- Gods and Generals Washington and Lee University per Wikipedia 2003
Named here by Lexington’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Lexington, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

“In Fall 2004, the director Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise filmed scenes for War of the Worlds here, with Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins.” Wikipedia
