Shawshank was filmed in and around the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield Ohio. The prison closed down in 1990, but was used for Air Force One and then Shawshank in the 90s.
The plan was to bulldoze it right after filming, and the crew was told not to bother fixing anything they busted but the prison was saved by local activists. You can take tours there now, including one of areas used in filming Shawshank.
The tunnel Andy made in his cell as well as the sewage pipe he escaped through are available for you to see and touch as well as the room Brooks hung himself in. (It was not filmed in a separate location as is often believed, just an admin room in the prison building).
