the silence of the lambs film location

Welcome to Buffalo Bill's House

Visit this captivating 1910 Victorian home, famously featured in the Academy Award-winning film THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Starring Jodie Foster as FBI Agent Clarice Starling and featuring the chilling portrayal of fictional serial killer Buffalo Bill by Ted Levine, the home has remained largely unchanged since the movie was shot over 30 years ago. 

Experience this remarkable piece of cinematic history nestled in the heart of the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, along the scenic Youghiogheny River and just off the Great Allegheny Passage trail at mile marker 102.
