A new video takes us to the locations of some of the famous scenes from the movie Groundhog Day (1993) in Woodstock, Illinois.
The events in the film take place in the location of the famous annual groundhog event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. But the town used in the film was actually Woodstock, Illinois.
