So is this set in Maine?

Didn't think it would be California, since it was still for the most part an untamed wilderness in the 1880's

yeah they filmed it in california, but it was meant to set in maine.

I think the movie took place in late 1900's. Yes, it was filmed in California but it was set in Maine.

It's way obvious the film is New England setting - with the lighthouse. Don't know of any such on the upper west coast :)

Especially some of the light dialects in the film. I have traveled to New England many times, and the geographical, cultural, and environmental differences are absolute. I figured the film was based in either Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Maine.
