The Stephen King Archives
Horror author Stephen King was born in Maine and has used the state as the setting for many of his stories. Despite his fame and wealth, he still lives in his home state, in a rather distinctive mansion just outside of downtown Bangor. The retreat could house up to five writers at a time, while “Scholars and others could request to see the materials [in the archives], which would be available by appointment,” according to CBS. While Carrie White's high school classmates who bully and torment her are certainly villains in this story, it is Carrie's mother, Margaret, who is the scariest character in the book. It was most likely an untreated mental illness and trauma that led Margaret White to be emotionally and physically abusive to her only daughter. A zealot who thought everything was a sin, Margaret forced Carrie to pray with her and punished her for what she viewed to be the slightest transgressions.

In 2020, King hired sculptor Josh Landry to sculpt a dead ash tree into a towering wooden bookcase on human legs. It featured several birds, a cat, and a dog resembling the author’s pet, Molly. But once in a while, the author is known to entertain possible tourists or trespassers stopping by.
The van stops at the corner of Jackson and Union Streets which looks like many other intersections across the U.S. The clown head and severed arm are artfully placed on the drain at the intersection and the tour group goes crazy snapping photos, staging tableaus, etc. Aside from King’s literary and cinematic locations, be sure to check out these fantastic things to do in Bangor, Maine. Another real estate website, Redfin estimates it’s worth around $1,400,000 which seems a bit more realistic, but still quite hefty for an area where the median home price hovers around a modest $300,000.

The property nowadays also incorporates an attached barn with an indoor swimming pool, a three-car garage, and King’s former writing studio at the rear of the house. The King manor lies on roughly 2 acres of land and was built in an Italianate Villa style. Hayford Park is right in the family’s backyard, while the property is surrounded by lush trees, offering plenty of privacy. The now-iconic manor on West Broadway was originally built in 1858, and has been owned by King and his wife Tabitha since 1980.
The Dark Tower
As you turn onto West Broadway in historic Bangor, Maine, you will pass by beautiful, antique mansions that were once occupied by lumber barons.
King’s family moved frequently during his childhood, living in several different states before finally settling back in Maine when King was eleven years old. The move had a profound impact on the young writer, who found solace in reading and writing to cope with the upheaval. “A Stephen King Dollar Baby production titled I Know What You Need, will be filming at the University of Maine,” reports Tinker. The King Dollar Baby program is a way for aspiring filmmakers to adapt one of King’s short stories to film. Young producers and filmmakers can be authorized by the King foundation to use one of the short stories for $1.
Strolling in downtown Bangor, I noticed lots of little bits of public art, but this bench definitely caught my eye. The Standpipe dates back to 1897 and is honestly one of the coolest looking water towers I’ve ever seen. Even if one weren’t a King fan, Mount Hope Cemetery is definitely worth a visit. It’s one of the nation’s oldest garden cemeteries and is almost 200 years old. If you’ll remember, Stephen King himself appeared in the original Pet Sematary.

In The Dead Zone, he reaches out to Johnny Smith, a man who has visions, for help in solving a series of murders in the town. He is thought to be a descendant of Nehemiah Bannerman, the sheriff of Castle Rock from the early 1900s mentioned in Bag of Bones.
George Bannerman is also referred to in Different Seasons, Needful Things, The Dark Half, Gwendy's Button Box, and Elevation.

If you find yourself in Maine, Bangor is well worth the trip (even not as a King fan) and I’ve put together a self-guided Stephen King tour to Bangor. "It's a real thrill for people to meet him. He's so well-known and loved throughout the world. It's just amazing," said Tinker, who has known the Kings for years. Years ago, King used to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters at his Bangor home.
At that time, our company was called University Restaurant Group, a name inspired by the ‘friendly’ rivalry of USC and UCLA, Sam and Jeff's respective alma maters, and we held that name until 1998. Since then they've proven to be successful operators, and they've cultivated the art of delivering a quality product and a great Guest experience in all economic environments. They learned a lot from their fathers and Sam and Jeff continue to teach, guide and lead us to great adventures. Their dedication and commitment to the industry, the product, and the people has resulted in a profitable, successful, and growing company.
The Victorian property was built more than a century ago by William Harris, and its gothic architecture made it the perfect location for a haunted house-evil-clown-hideout. Rev. Naomi King is an American Unitarian Universalist minister and has authored several religious-themed novels. In the past, she has been known as an activist for the LGBTQ+ community and dabbled in the restaurant industry for a time. During their stay in room 217, King had a strange dream that his youngest son was running down one of the empty corridors in a panic while being chased by a fire-hose. Upon waking in a sweat, King recalls lighting up a cigarette and by the time he had taken his last drag, he had already built the foundation for his iconic novel. In truth, much of the Overlook Hotel’s exterior was filmed at the Timberline Lodge in Mt. Hood, Oregon.
