Discover the enchanting landscapes and historical locations in South Carolina that were used to film the timeless love story “The Notebook”.  

Despite the novel being set in North Carolina, the movie was largely filmed in and around Charleston. The most beautiful, emotional scenes unfold at various, iconic locations.   

The Rice Hope Plantation on the Black River served as the nursing home, while the Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant represented Allie’s summer house, displaying one of America’s oldest working plantations.   

The historical College of Charleston stood in for Allie’s college. The American Theater and the Calhoun Mansion are both located in Charleston, and offered rich historical backdrops, with grand interiors embodying the luxury in this era.  

The modest home Noah shared with his father is located on Edisto Beach. Noah’s romantic boat ride with Allie was filmed at Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner. The serene, natural beauty reflects the region’s coastal charm.
