FARGO, North Dakota—They’ve got the woodchipper from the movie here. That’s one thing to know about Fargo.
Very little of the eponymous Coen brothers film was shot here in Fargo, and so there aren’t a lot of filming locations to see or anything like that. At the Fargo-Moorhead Convention & Visitors Bureau, they have a little display with some copies of the script and Fargo memorabilia, including the infamous woodchipper.
