Wicked Local
A walk through Borderland State Park in Easton is not complete without a visit to the Ames Mansion.
It was the Ames Mansion where the infamous private detective Beniot Blanc (Daniel Craig) solved the murder of wealthy mystery novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) in the 2019 film, “Knives Out.”
“Knives Out” is not the only movie to be filmed at Borderland State Park – the 2016 reboot of “Ghostbusters” featured scenes shot in the mansion, and Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” from 2012 made use of the park’s grounds.
The 1910 mansion is also full of real life history of Blanche and Oakes Ames who constructed the park and raised their family there. It became a state park in the 1970s.
