Where Is Home Town Flmed? Everything About 'Home Town' Cast and More

HGTV's Home Town stands out from other home-renovation shows due to its focus on celebrating the culture of small-town America. Ben and Erin Napier, the show's stars, strive to restore and transform old homes in their community, using Ben's carpentry skills and Erin's artistic vision. The Napiers' passion for their hometown is evident in every episode, and viewers are often inspired to learn more about the place where all this amazing renovation work is taking place.

Erin and Ben, who met at Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, took on the challenge of transforming the historic district of Laurel, Mississippi, which has a population of less than 20,000 people. After they got married in 2008, they purchased a 1925 cottage in the town, which they renovated and documented the process on social media and Erin's blog. This caught the attention of an HGTV producer, and their home makeover was featured in a 2014 Southern Weddings spread. This ultimately led to the airing of the Home Town pilot two years later, in which the couple helped their clients find their dream homes.

Of course, since the show first began in 2016, Laurel has made tremendous progress. Not only is there a tourism boom in the area, but the Napiers believe people are buying vacation houses in the area at lightning speed.

"The second a house goes on the market, it gets snatched up," Erin told Pop Sugar in January, with Ben adding: "We've had visitors from New Zealand, Australia and Europe [to our shops]. People are coming from everywhere to see this little town that HGTV introduced them to."
Since doing so much work in Laurel, Ben and Erin have gone on to help other small towns. In Home Town Takeover, the Napiers shift their focus to Wetumpka, Alabama. The town was reportedly chosen for the HGTV spinoff show after the series received 5,000 submissions representing 2,600 towns from across the country.
As for Ben's Discovery+ show Home Town: Ben's Workshop, the beloved woodworker helps celebrity guests to work on various projects.
