Well at least the film was filmed in Virginia and not in some location that "looks like Virginia," like, Heaven Forbid! North Carolina or Maryland :-)!!!! Remember the snow-capped mountains along the James River in Disney's Pocahontas? Hopefully, there won't be any dry, brushy California landscapes in the background either in "The New World." I suppose the content of the movie may not be as authentic! We'll all have to see.

No. Sets were made on the Chickahominy River in James City for the
fort and in Charles City for the NA village.

Sadly, the fort was mulched after the movie was finished. What a
great item to have on your property.
