Is Wellsbury, Massachusetts a real place?

Georgia, Ginny, and Austin may well have taken off from Texas — but Massachusetts isn’t where they ended up! Most of the “Ginny & Georgia” filming location sets are actually in Canada.

Sadly, this means Wellsbury, Massachusetts isn’t a real place you can visit — but you can find a pretty similar-looking town in Ontario! The town of Cobourg, to be exact. Let’s take a look at some of the specific Cobourg locations that are recognizable in the show.

Step into downtown Cobourg and you’ll feel like you’ll be in Wellsbury itself! Many of the “Ginny & Georgia” filming location sets in season one are near Victoria Hall in downtown Cobourg. Even Victoria Hall itself doubles as Wellsbury’s town hall (you may remember it as the backdrop for Wellsury’s annual Halloween festival).

In order to make this quaint Canadian town feel a little more like Massachusetts and a little less like Canada, the crew traded out Canadian flags for American ones during filming and even changed the names of storefronts. You can see some of those changes highlighted in the Town of Cobourg’s Instagram post about the filming! Here are a few specific storefronts in Cobourg you may recognize from the show:

If you end up visiting Cobourg, make sure to spend some time on King Street. You’ll find plenty of “Ginny & Georgia” filming location spaces there.

For example, Audrey’s In Town Fashion is an actual store that even kept its name for the show! You may also remember Wellsbury Savings from season 1 episode 9, which is the Bank of Montreal on King St. You’ll also find Cynthia’s office on this adorable downtown street and of course, the Blue Farm Cafe!

If Ginny were to actually take a job at the Blue Farm Cafe — she’d more likely be serving Marcus burgers than coffee, black like his heart. That’s because the Blue Farm Cafe is actually “The EL” gastro pub in downtown Cobourg.

Their yummy menu includes everything from truffle fries and sauteed sriracha shrimp to spiced salmon and lamb shanks. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area — even if Ginny isn’t there to provide you “service with a smile.”

The Final Scenes Of “Ginny & Georgia” Season 1

In the final scenes of “Ginny & Georgia” season one, Georgia is at the mayoral election party. This scene was shot using real fireworks at the Victoria Park Bandshell in Cobourg.

The bandshell itself has a pretty cool history, even outside of being used in the filming of “Ginny & Georgia.” According to the Cobourg website, unemployed men in Cobourg built the bandstand in 1934 which was one of the first of its kind in Ontario when it opened!

While Cobourg will definitely give you the most Wellsbury vibes, quite a bit of the “Ginny & Georgia” filming is in the Toronto area as well. Here are a few spots near Toronto that you may recognize from the show:

Ginny & Georgia’s Home

One of the most iconic locations not filmed in Cobourg is Ginny, Georgia, and Austin’s home! The Wellsbury residence is actually a home in the Parkdale-High Park district in York, Toronto. And while you can’t tour this private home, you can rent a nearby home on Peerspace to live out all your “Ginny & Georgia” dreams!

The area where Ginny and Georgia’s home is located is one of the most picturesque and exclusive neighborhoods in the Toronto area — perfect for a classy event or shoot!

Wellsbury High School

In 2016, Toronto residents came up with ideas for what to do with the defunct Nelson A. Boylen Collegiate Institute ranging from turning it into a nursing home to transforming it into a community hub.

But then, the unused school found a new purpose as the fictional high school of Ginny Miller! While filmmakers added the yellow sculpture outside the school for filming, if you visit the school grounds everything else looks pretty similar to the scenes of the school shown in “Ginny & Georgia!”

Zion rides into town

Remember Zion riding into town at the end of episode 7? On his way, he crosses the Old Mill Bridge in Etienne Brule Park in Toronto! You can visit this beautiful bridge, designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, to relive this moment in the show — and to enjoy the yearly salmon run if you are there at the right time of year! 

Gas station in episode 1

One last place you may want to visit on your tour of “Ginny & Georgia” filming locations in Toronto is the EZ Lube Automobile Service. This little gas station in Scarborough is just outside Toronto and was featured in episode one of the show! Maybe you’ll even be able to snap a pic with a police officer slowly rolling by in the background while you’re there.
