She went on to visit the villages of New Milford, West Hartford, and Kent, all of which formed the basis for her small town sanctuary of Stars Hollow. ![]() “There was a longing for that in my own life.” “It was beautiful, it was magical, and it was feeling of warmth and small-town camaraderie,” Sherman-Palladino elaborted to The Deseret News in 2001. Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino once vacationed in Washington, Connecticut, and as she told the Hartford Courant, she “fell in love with the state over the course of two days.” Specifically, she fell in love with the picturesque towns and the people who lived in them.

If you didn't dream of running away to Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls as an angsty teenager, then did you have an actual adolescence?
