Movie Set Location From Rainman, Starring Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman

Ever see the movie Rainman? If not, rent it... it's WELL worth seeing. Part of the movie was filmed at this scene in Silver Grove, Kentucky. This particular location in reality is a convent. However, in the movie, this setting was the home for mentally challenged individuals requiring assistance in their daily lives. I think it was called Oakbrook in the movie. Looks identical in real life today as it did in the movie, filmed about 20 years ago!

thats a good taping of the convent which was the basis of Wallbrook, one question, though, where did the nuns go during the time they had Wallbrook?

[CincinnatiGifts]

I'm sure taping at "Wallbrook" took only a day or two. While I really have no idea, I'm guessing the nuns probably took a bus to the local casinoes in nearby Indiana for the day or two that filming was taking place, just like in the movie Sister Act.

Just kidding, of course.

The nuns likely simply stayed at one end of the compound while the production crew used the opposite end.

I'd like to find this place myself....what road is it on?  Any help is appreciated.

It is located right off of River Road (also known as Rt 8), in Campbell County. The convent, St. Annes, is located between the two communities of Silver Grove & Melbourne, which are both tiny river communities in Ky. Rt 8 runs right through both of them. If you are heading southeast, away from the downtown Cincinnati area, the location will be on your right. The tall trees lining the long driveway may be gone now, as the convent had planned on cutting them down. You can mapquest St. Anne Drive.

Unfortunately, the convent (the actual site location) has decided to cut down most, if not all of those huge trees lining that stretch of road leading up to the main building. Apparently some of the trees are diseased or are rotting and are posing a safety risk, so they're being removed.

i grew up right down the street from st annes i used to cut the grass there too. me and a few friends used to do photo shoots for their cars there.. was a great scene and hated to see it go!! i don't think i'll ever get to see it like it was before in my life time..

and another thing, with wallbrook shown to be the residence of autistics, down syndrome victims, and all, but my question is: Where did they get them from and what happened to them after Wallbrook wrapped up, oh by the way did anyone watching Rain Man noticed that there were only two staff - Dr. Brunner and V-E-R-N, considering there were many, many more Wallbrook residents besides Raymond?

LOL I live right down the street from there [;

I planted some new trees in that line to eventually replace the old ones. That was about 13 years ago. My wife grew up about a mile away from there. NICE

it was called "Wallbrook" in the movie by the way..
