For many, a stranger knocking on their door and asking
for a tour would prompt a call to the authorities.
For Margaret Hummel, it’s an occurrence she’s
learned to not only tolerate, but enjoy.
Her house is the iconic Leery home that
served as a central setting of the beloved
show “Dawson’s Creek,” and fans come
from all over the world for a glimpse.
Margaret Hummel’s home and dock on
Hewletts Creek played an important role in
“Dawson’s Creek,” which included scenes of
unidentified child actors playing a younger
Joey and Dawson for a flashback, left, and
