“Heartland” is a beloved series and officially Canada’s longest-running one-hour scripted television drama and was the fifth most-streamed series in 2021, according to The Wrap! But to answer the question “where is Heartland filmed?” we have to head to the heart of small-town Canada. Here are the top film locations for the 240+ episodes of the famed series.

Where is The Heartland Ranch located?

If you are wondering where “Heartland” is filmed — your first question is probably about the ranch itself! The ranch used to film “Heartland” is actually a privately owned ranch in Millarville (which is in Alberta, Canada). So, unfortunately, the public isn’t able to visit the set.

But lucky for you. Amber Marshall filmed a tour of the set so you can get a peek at how the ranch looks IRL!

Is the town of Hudson in “Heartland” a real place?

Hudson does exist — just under a different name! If you want to visit the town of Hudson, you’ll need to make a trip to High River in Alberta, Canada. High River has all the small-town charm that you would expect from the town that serves as Hudson in “Heartland”.

In fact, it also offers tons of fun opportunities to feel like you’re a part of the show during your visit. Here’s a look at a few of the spots you won’t want to miss on a trip to High River.

Maggie’s Diner

While you can’t visit the ranch where they film “Heartland,” you can visit one specific part of the set/ Maggie’s Diner, Tack and Feed is open for the public to stroll by and take pictures when the crew isn’t filming. It isn’t a real diner, so you can’t go inside, but nothing is stopping you from taking a peek through the windows!

Are you looking to get some “Heartland” merch while you are in the area? Then stop right next door at Olive and Finch. Another great option for “Heartland” merch in the area is Walker’s General Store. You can even order your “Heartland” merch from this local store online if you can’t make it in person!

Amy and Georgie’s high school graduation

Take a stroll in George Lane Memorial Park while you are in High River! Here, you will find the famous red gazebo that hosted Amy and Georgie’s high school graduation.

And while the gazebo is a great spot to get some “Heartland” themed selfies, we’re pretty sure it’s frowned upon to drive your motorcycle onto the floor for all the Ty Borden fans out there!

You can even use Peerspace to book venues that have their own outdoor gazebo to reenact the graduation scene! For instance, check out this stunning 155-acre farm in Georgina, Ontario. It not only boasts a classic red and white barn but it has a sweet gazebo perfect for gathering with friends.

“Heartland” props and costumes

Not only can you visit some of the famous scenes where “Heartland” is filmed, but you can also get up close and personal with some of the costumes and props used on the show!

Museum of the Highwood offers a quiz to test your “Heartland” knowledge and fun props, replicas, and costumes in their “Heartland” exhibit. While you are there, you can also enjoy learning about some of the other rich history of the area with the museum’s Canadian history exhibits.

Where are the rodeos and horse races in “Heartland” filmed?

The Millarville Farmers’ Market and Race Track is the home of the rodeo and horse race scenes in “Heartland”. And even if you are visiting the area with friends or family who doesn’t watch the show, this is still a spot you’ll want to visit! The Farmer’s Market is open on Saturdays, June through October, and is a great way to feel a part of small-town Alberta.

The farmer’s market webpage says that all the vendors are at least 80% “Make It, Bake It, Grow It in Alberta Market”. You can even view an interactive map of all the vendors on their website. Other fun events throughout the year at the Millarville Farmers’ Market and Race Track include skijoring, a half marathon, and horse racing!

Wondering if you can book a Peerspace venue near its own farmer’s market? You sure can! Simply search your location and type “farmer’s market” in the keyword search engine. If you’re in Miami, FL, for example, you can book this adorable MiMo cottage. It’s the perfect spot for hosting a “Heartland” streaming party and is just across the street from Legion Park, which hosts a farmer’s market every Saturday.

While you are in Millarville, it’s also worth stopping by one other recognizable spot in the area, like the scene of Lou’s wedding. The Millarville Anglican Church is only about a five-minute drive away from the farmer’s market and offers beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains!

Want your “Heartland” event to give a subtle nod to Lou’s wedding? Then book a church event space on Peerspace! One of our favorite options is this multipurpose space in a historic Dupont church in Washington, D.C. It boasts beautiful lighting, an open layout, and seating for your guests.
