With its prequel Yellowstone 1883, Paramount+ transports viewers of the present to the untamed American Wild West of the 19th century.
The show investigates how the Dutton family first acquired the biggest ranch in Montana as part of Taylor Sheridan’s expanding Yellowstone world. Margaret and James Dutton, played by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, take their family on a risky trek from Texas to Montana, which results in a drama-filled dramatisation of the Western frontier’s expansion.
So, did the 1883 movie by Paramount+ actually take place in the Wild West? Was this western adventure created on a soundstage in Hollywood? What you need to know about the locations where 1883 by Paramount+ was filmed.

Like Yellowstone, its parent programme, 1883 primarily shot in Texas and Montana. The prequel series is produced in Weatherford, Texas, primarily at the Bosque Ranch Headquarters, which also acts as the show’s shooting location.
Other locales in the Lone Star State were also used for the filming of 1883. Other filming locations were the Forth Worth Stockyards neighbourhood in Fort Worth, Texas; Farina’s Winery & Cafe in Granbury, Texas (which served as an old-fashioned salon); and 6666 Ranch in Amarillo, Texas.
Of course, if the Duttons hadn’t made a scene in Montana, it wouldn’t be a Yellowstone show. In addition, a sizable amount of the first season of 1883 was recorded in Park County, Montana, which happens to be located close to Yellowstone National Park.
