If you stopped at the General Store for coffee Monday, you might have seen a man with a large camera propped on his shoulder, walking around the store filming Chef Paul dishing out soup or Adam Horowitz cutting samples of cheese, and you might have rubbed elbows with Boston TV personality Anthony Everett, of the award-winning nightly WCVB-TV program, Chronicle.

The Chronicle team was in Harvard over the last couple of weeks filming people and places that help define Harvard’s unique character: the sculpture garden at Old Frog Pond Farm, Carlson Orchards, the Oak Ridge Observatory, Harvard Art, the General Store, and Fruitlands Museum.

The Press caught up with the team Tuesday at the art gallery at Fruitlands, as Everett was admiring works of 19th-century Hudson River Valley artists with museum curator Mike Volmar. The show’s producer, Clint Conley, said that the team had decided less than a month ago to do a feature on Harvard. Asked “Why Harvard?” Conley replied, “Because I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in New England.” Conley said he had visited Harvard several times on apple-picking outings with his family, and had been struck by its unique character.

Asked how he selected the locations the team would visit, Conley replied with a laugh, “Google! How did we ever get along without it?” He said his Google search had turned up, among other places, Carlson Orchards, as the biggest cider-maker in the state, and Harvard Art, which specializes in gilded picture frames and does work for major museums.

Chronicle will be using the Harvard footage in what Conley called a “twist” on the program’s “Main Streets & Back Roads of New England” segment, and called upon Harvard residents to help pull it off: the town will be featured as a “mystery location,” he said, and viewers will be invited to submit guesses by e-mail on what town it is. He said he hopes the e-mails won’t all be from Harvard residents, as he’d like to generate some interaction with a wide spectrum of viewers. “I hope they’ll restrain themselves,” he said with a grin.

There is no set date for the airing of the Harvard segment yet, but Conley said it would be “sometime in the next few weeks,” and promised to give residents some advance notice, so they can tune in.
