Film Industry

The old abandoned Ohio State Reformatory, located north of downtown Mansfield, has been the location for many major films, including The Shawshank Redemption, Harry and Walter Go to New York, Air Force One and Tango and Cash. Most of the prison yard has now been demolished to make room for expansion of the adjacent Mansfield Correctional Facility, but the Reformatory's Gothic-style Administration Building remains standing, and due to its prominent use in films, and has become a tourist attraction.
