Starshollow is kinda like Washington Depot in CT. I'm from CT and I've never been there but I've heard the creator of Gilmore Girls got the idea for Stars Hollow from Washington, CT. Its a small little town with cute little inns!

There are plenty of small towns in New England that closely resemble Stars Hollow. ASP (creator of GG) got the idea from a small town called Washington Depot, CT. It's not nearly as crazy as Stars Hollow, but it does have the small town charm...
Gilmore Girls is filmed on the Warner Bros. backlot in Burbank... They use 3 sound stages (one is the Gilmore Mansion, one is Yale and one is the Crap Shack/Dragonfly Inn). The majority of their sets however are practical sets (The Diner, The Soda Shoppe, Miss Pattys, Kim's Antiques), in which they shoot exterior and exterior shots. The street on the Backlot where they do most of the shooting is Mid-West Street, but it is better known as "Any-Town USA". My favorite thing about it though is the Crapshack/Sookies house. If you're on one side of the street the house is Sookies, but if you go around the back its the Crapshack! They don't do any interior shots in this house, just exterior stuff. If you are around at the Crapshack side there's the Gilmore Mailbox and the Chuppa, which are great for photo ops!
I work at Warner Bros. in the tour dept., so I do this for a living. I could spend all day showing people the inner workings of Gilmore Girls...

Actually, the pilot episode of Gilmore Girls was filmed in a lovely little town in Ontario, Canada named Unionville. It is an adorable, country-feeling village that is only about half hour outside of Toronto. The producers searched for a while trying to find the idyllic "Stars Hollow" and Unionville, Ontario was it for them (until the show was picked up and became a success and they headed for Hollywood).

Stars Hallow is on a soundstage in LA on the Warner Brothers lot. You can even take a tour of it if you are ever in LA.
The actual town Stars Hollow is modeled after a small town in Connecticut. I'm sure if you get out the map and look for small towns around the real towns used in the show (like Hartford and New Haven) you'll pretty much get the gist of what and where Stars Hollow is modeled after.
