[edit] Specific State Location

The show has made a point in recent years of not giving a location for Harmony. Although early episodes implied that the show was in Maine, it has never been stated as fact. Various comments over the years have eliminated certain states (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and Connecticut have all been excluded over the years based on on-air comments that verified the four were different states), leaving only Vermont as a possible location for Harmony.
