Camp Lehigh, New Jersey | MCU Location Scout

General Philips and Doctor Erskine at Camp Lehigh.

Wars are fought with weapons, but they are won by men.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (1942)

Recruited by Dr Erskine and Colonel Phillips, Steve takes part in a series of basic training exercises with other candidates for the Super Soldier program.

The majority of the sequences with the recruits were filmed in Black Park, which is adjacent to the Pinewood Studios location that was used for much of the filming.

Camp Lehigh Flagpole

On a long run, the candidates are given a chance to snatch a flag off a pole for a free ride back to base with Agent Carter. After everyone else fails, Steve tries a unique approach to the task and succeeds. This one sequence of the Camp Lehigh montage was shot stateside, at Disney’s Golden Oak Ranch, rather than in the UK.

  • Soldiers jog past flagpole with Camp Lehigh flag.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

  • Steve and Natasha at the gates for Camp Lehigh.

Steve and Natasha arrive at the address given by the thumb drive, which turns out to be Steve’s old Army training grounds, Camp Lehigh. They discover a secret bunker which leads them on their next steps.

The stand in for Camp Lehigh in this film is the Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center, just outside Windham, OH (now known as Camp James A. Garfield).

Camp Lehigh – Secret SHIELD Facility

Underneath Camp Lehigh, is a secret SHIELD facility, potentially the very first offices. From there Steve and Natasha discover yet another secret room, full of old computer equipment.

According to an LA Times article, filming took place in the basement of this Sears store. Some of the columns in the interior photos on Google resemble the columns seen in this sequence. So I am making my best guess that filming of this scene was done at this location.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME (1970) – Exterior

These scenes were filmed at an old warehouse complex at the corner of Murphy Ave SW and Sylvan Rd SW in Atlanta.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME (1970) – Interior

Inside the base, the Avengers must procure the Infinity stone and more Pym particles, while Steve sees Peggy Carter.

The interiors were shot at the OFS Fitel building in Norcross, GA which has been used for many MCU related projects over the years.

Thanks to Lawrence Morris for discovering both these locations.
