When you think of Super Troopers 3, grand mansion architecture probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But the production team behind this upcoming Broken Lizard comedy made a surprisingly elegant choice by selecting the John Nesmith House in Lowell, Massachusetts, as one of its key filming locations.
Directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and distributed by Searchlight Pictures, Super Troopers 3 is set to hit theaters on August 7, 2026. The film was shot across Massachusetts between August 20 and October 2, 2025.

The John Nesmith House Brought Old-Money Elegance to a Comedy Sequel
The John Nesmith House is a historic Greek Revival mansion located at 229 Andover St, Lowell, Massachusetts. With its towering white columns, symmetrical façade, and beautifully preserved interior rooms, it is one of the most architecturally significant properties in the entire region.
The production used both the grand exterior of the mansion and its richly detailed interior rooms to film multiple important sequences. The filmmakers specifically chose this location for its classic New England architecture and the visual depth of its interiors — giving the film a level of production value that elevates it well beyond a typical comedy sequel.
That Tea-Time Scene Was Shot Right Inside These Walls
Most notably, the tea-time scene — one of the more visually striking moments teased from the film — was shot entirely inside this mansion. The contrast between the formal grandeur of the John Nesmith House and the chaotic, irreverent humor of the Super Troopers cast creates exactly the kind of comedic tension the franchise has always thrived on.
Both the exterior establishing shots and the ornate interior sequences were captured here, making this property one of the most screen-time-heavy locations in the entire production.
Other Super Troopers 3 Filming Locations Across Massachusetts
While the John Nesmith House is the clear standout, the production covered several other towns across the state:
- Concord, Massachusetts — Outdoor patrol sequences and base camp setups at Musketaquid Sportsman’s Club and Valley Sports
- Lexington, Massachusetts — Scenes tied to the Indian wedding storyline, filmed in open and peaceful surroundings
- Townsend, Massachusetts — Real ice cream shop Cherry Hill Ice Cream was transformed into a truck stop for a chaotic confrontation scene
- 738 Lowell Rd, Groton, Massachusetts — A private property used for natural outdoor sequences
- First Church of Belfast, Maine — Featured briefly in aerial footage to establish the film’s setting
- Greater Massachusetts highways — Classic road and trooper patrol scenes filmed across small towns and open highways
Even though Super Troopers 3 is set in Vermont, the entire film was shot in Massachusetts — a deliberate production choice the team has made across the franchise, thanks to how closely the two states resemble each other visually.
