A Tribute to Danfield

From
1962 to 1965 Lucille Carmichael, Vivian Bagley and their children
lived in the fictional suburb of Danfield, New York. Lucy and
Viv say they’ve been living together for five years, coming together
like a female odd couple after Lucy was widowed and Vivian and her
husband Ralph divorced. The town was also home to banker Theodore J. Mooney
and his family, who appeared on the scene in late 1963 as the
custodian of Lucy’s trust fund. They all lived in
Danfield for 84 episodes over three seasons, although when Lucy finds
a “Vote for Dewey” button under the sofa, it indicates that she could have lived there since at least 1948. All of
the locations listed below were mentioned or depicted on the series. 

Those that got camera time (or at least signage) are designated with a star
(*). Locations that took the characters outside of Danfield (ie;
Milroy University, Lucy’s alma mater) were omitted. See if you can
remember the episodes they were featured in!
