St. John's Anglican Church, Lunenburg,
became a New England church and graveyard for the movie "Simon Birch"

Photographs taken by, and courtesy of, Barbara Spindler September/October 1997

The commons and the church were transformed for the film. The black trim on the church was painted white. A graveyard was "constructed", extra trees and shrubs were "planted", walks were "built", monuments "disguised". The scenes here are autumn but it was all transformed into a winter scene as well.
