History:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To bring to life this enchanting wooden village<\/strong>, tree trunk logs embarked on a journey overland from Holland, while authentic<\/strong> wood shingles for the rooftops traveled all the way from Canada. The construction of this remarkable set involved a global effort, with a diverse crew of 165 individuals using a staggering eight tons of nails and two thousand gallons of paint to bring the vision to fruition.<\/p>\n

The ambitious project called for the creation of no less than 20 wooden structures. But before the first nail could be hammered, an access road leading to the set had to be carefully constructed. Additionally, the picturesque Anchor Bay required a substantial 200-250 foot breakwater at its mouth to shield the set from the unpredictable high seas, ensuring a smooth filming experience during the production months. The cameras started rolling on the 23rd of January, 1980, marking the beginning of an extraordinary cinematic journey.<\/p>\n

What you can do:<\/strong><\/p>\n
