BANGOR MAINE Destination
It’s All Right Here
Deb Neuman, President & CEO, BANGOR REGION CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
It is my pleasure to welcome you to this publication and to the Bangor region. You may be reading this because you are considering a visit, a revisit, a relocation or because you already live here and want to know more about this place you call home!
I have called Maine my home for most of my adult life, because I fell in love with Maine during my childhood. Maine was our family’s vacation spot and every year I wished I didn’t have to leave. I dreamed that one day Maine would be my home and I made that dream come true. I never plan to live anywhere else.
There are so many reasons why you should consider making the Bangor region your home or your next vacation destination. Many of those reasons are found throughout this publication. The one thing that is impossible to capture in these pages are the people you will meet. This is a special place.
This is the kind of place where strangers become fast friends. Where traffic will stop to let you cross the street. Where people from all over the world live and work in our businesses, educational institutions and healthcare facilities. Where small businesses and innovators thrive.
You can enjoy all of our cultural amenities, museums, theaters and concerts. Take a walk on a wooded trail or along the waterfront and enjoy a great meal before or after. Explore our wonderful downtowns and if you want to explore further, we are a short drive to the coast, the mountains, the lakes and more! Need to get away, or get here? Our airport is simply the best!
I could go on and on so I will leave you with this. All of us at the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce would be delighted to answer any questions, give you some tips and provide the resources you need to ensure your visit or move to our region is the best experience possible.
We hope to see you soon.

MAIN STREET’S STATUE OF PAUL BUNYAN
Mr. Photogenic
It’s likely the most photographed landmark in the Bangor region is the Paul Bunyan statue that stands 31 feet tall and can be found on Main Street in front of the Cross Insurance Center, across the street from the Hollywood Hotel and Casino.
What is the story behind Paul anyway?
According to the Bangor Public Library website, the story of Bangor’s Paul Bunyan Statue fittingly begins with a great big party. While volunteers planned the City’s 125th anniversary celebrations for February 1959, Mrs. Connie Bronson, a dedicated local teacher, suggested that the city build a statue of Paul Bunyan to commemorate our nineteenth century legacy as “The Lumber Capital of the World”. The committee, led by local businessman Mr. Gordan Clapp, embraced this idea, and raised the funds for the project.
Mr. J. Normand Martin, a talented artist raised in Madawaska, Maine, and recent Bangor resident, set about sculpting a 22-inch clay model on his kitchen table. He then boarded a train to New York City with his creation cradled in his lap. There he coordinated the statue’s design and fabrication with Messmoor and Damon, Inc., the company that created New York’s 1939 World’s Fair exhibits.
Bangor’s 3,700 pound, 31-foot-tall steel-framed fiberglass statue is

BANGOR HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Stepping Back in Time
BY MATT BISHOP, CURATOR/OPERATIONS MANAGER, BANGOR HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Sitting at the tidal head of the Penobscot River, Bangor emerged in the early 19th century as the lumber capital of the world. The first European settlers laid down roots in what would become Bangor in 1769. The Wabanaki people inhabited this part of Maine for many generations before then. The abundance of fresh running water of the Penobscot River and the Kenduskeag Stream propelled Bangor to become the anchor of eastern, northern, and central Maine. From this location, the lumber, and other natural resources from the region, helped build the cities on the east coast and beyond. Bangor became the economic and cultural focal point for the region, which it remains to this day. During the height of our lumber boom, Bangor was visited by all
walks of life, from politicians and immigrants to fishermen and artists. This mixture of people, cultures and traditions helped to create the uniqueness that we feel in Bangor today.
When we walk through the streets of our city, we still see architecture harkening back to the wealthy lumbering days. The neighborhoods and blocks of Broadway, Main Street, High Street, West Broadway, and State Street stood some of the most recognizable houses and buildings in Bangor. Freese’s Department Store, the Bangor House, the Bangor Auditorium (new and old), and Norumbega Hall, in addition to the numerous churches whose steeples are seen from all across the area, were built by some of the most well-known architects of the day. These buildings remain part of the fabric of our community even after the businesses have left or the buildings were torn down. Neighborhoods like Little City and Fairmount Park were added and expanded later when our population increased throughout the 1940’s. These areas housed many families that came to Dow Air Force Base, now Bangor International Airport.
Bangor was and still is the service center for this region. The stores, hospitals, schools, colleges, banks, and entertainment venues draw significant numbers of people to not only live and work in Bangor, but also visit. While the venues have changed, one can still see a play at the Bangor Opera House where Jack Benny, Edwin Booth, and many more once performed or you can take in a show on the river by one of the popular touring acts today.
The best way to understand Bangor is to explore it!

Get Outdoors fresh air when
There are many parks and trails to enjoy in the Bangor region that invite you to take a stroll, a run, walk your dog and meet a friend for a cold beverage or a picnic lunch. Here is a sample listing to get you on your way!
The Bangor Waterfront has undergone a major renovation over the past twenty years; from an industrialized landscape to a lush greenway with trails and open space. Along the banks of the Penobscot River the waterfront offers walking trails, benches and picnic tables.
Perhaps one of Bangor’s most popular parks, Cascade Park, is located on State Street, just past Northern Light, Eastern Maine Medical Center. Equipped with a gazebo, walking trails, picnic tables, and a water fountain, it offers an excellent place for a family outing or picnic. On the premises is a waterfall that’s more than 20 feet high.
The Brewer Riverwalk features themed plantings, paved walking paths, a waterfall and an area for events such as weddings or performances. In the children’s garden you will find chess tables and picnic tables for people of all ages to enjoy.
The Bangor City Forest includes forest access trails, foot trails, wetlands and examples of reforestation and tree regeneration. Many Bangor residents enjoy the City Forest for hiking, running, cross country skiing, and mountain biking. Dog-walking is permitted.
Orono Bog Walk provides a window into some of Maine’s most interesting natural environments. The focal point of the Bog Boardwalk is the peat bog itself, as well as the diverse vegetation and natural environments that surround it. In addition to being a remarkable natural phenomenon, the Orono Bog Boardwalk (see image to the right) also provides a wonderful opportunity to learn more about various Maine ecosystems, from the forested wetlands that surround the bog to the peat bog itself.
The Penobscot Valley Chapter (PVC) of Maine Audubon offers programs and field trips throughout the year at low cost or no cost to members and the general public. Scan this code for a list of neighborhood bird walks or go to pvc.maineaudubon. org/neighborhood-bird-walks
While you are on our local trails, be on the lookout for an American Redstart, Setophaga ruticilla
WILDLIFE WATCHING
Are you a bird watcher? A good place to take a bird or nature walk is the Fields Pond Audubon Center in Holden. There are smooth manicured trails, and in the spring and early summer, red-winged blackbirds and bluebirds sing as bitterns hide in the marsh. Maine Audubon has another sanctuary off Essex Street in Bangor called the West Penjajawoc Grasslands. This area features a beautiful green field with mowed paths that are easy to traverse where you can often find bobolinks in the spring and early summer. Hirundo Wildlife Refuge and Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge are two sanctuaries that are home to over 200 different bird species and 45 species of mammals.
If you’re hoping to see a moose during your visit, consider hiring a registered guide or join a moose safari. These moose experts know just where and when to take their guests to spot moose. The Maine Guide Service offers moose tours year round, and within the entire Maine Highlands Region—a great day trip if you’ve got the time! While you’re in the Maine outdoors, you are bound to spot some other native wildlife and beautiful views, too.

Fall in the Bangor Region is a visual treat that shouldn’t be missed. As the crisp air settles in, the region transforms into a spectacular canvas of fiery reds, vibrant oranges, and golden yellows. Whether you’re taking a leisurely drive through the winding roads of the Bangor Region or venturing a little further to the serene landscapes around Acadia National Park or the Greenville/Jackman area, each view offers a unique and breathtaking perspective of autumn’s beauty. This season invites locals and visitors alike to slow down and enjoy the natural splendor—perfect for a peaceful day out or a

These spots are ideal for those looking to combine scenic views with a taste of local culture and cuisine.

The fall season here is not just a sight to behold but an immersive experience that captivates the senses and enriches the soul.

Winter Fun
There are more than a dozen Maine Snowmobile Association recognized clubs within the region. There are many trailside accommodations in the area, with access to thousands of miles of groomed and maintained trails.
There is nothing more beautiful than a freshly snowcovered forest in the early morning. Spending time in our woods is one of the best ways to truly experience winter. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing provide the peaceful escape that many seek when visiting. There are miles of groomed and ungroomed trails specifically for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Another unique adventure in the Bangor Region is the opportunity to take sledding to a whole new level, either behind a team of dogs or at Hermon Mountain
The Penobscot Valley Ski Club, incorporated in 1941, is one of Maine’s oldest ski organizations. Since its inception, the club has offered cross-country and downhill ski trips, competitions and instruction. PVSC currently has nearly 500 members, many of whom volunteer time and energy to support the club’s efforts.
Check out the new Caribou Bog Outdoor Center (CBOC), a four-season, public outdoor center. The building is located off the Taylor Road in Orono and is centrally located within the Caribou Bog Conservation Area (CBCA), a nearly 7,000-acre corridor of conservation lands and extensive trails extending from the Bangor City Forest north to Old Town. The new Center will enhance the overall “experience” for Nordic skiers, mountain bikers, bird watchers, runners/ walkers, and the public.
Hermon Mountain provides a lift to the top of the mountain and over 600 feet of “chutes” for speciallydesigned tubes-riders can experience the thrill of a lifetime! Hermon Mountain also offers downhill skiing and snowboarding, which is the perfect combination of winter activities to excite the whole family.
Looking to take to the ice? Whether in an arena, on a frozen pond, or man-made rink, the Bangor Region has plenty of indoor and outdoor ice skating opportunities.

Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor, Maine, is the second oldest garden cemetery in the United States. It was designed by architect Charles G. Bryant in 1834 and built by the Bangor Horticultural Society soon after, the same year that Bangor was incorporated as a city. The cemetery was modeled after Mt. Auburn Cemetery (1831) in Boston, Massachusetts. Bangor was at that time a frontier boom-town, and much of its architecture and landscaping was modeled after that of Boston. The site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

CAN I GO AFTER 9PM?
Late Night Hangouts, Snacks, Entertainment & Last Call WHERE
DOWNTOWN BANGOR
(Thank you to the Downtown Business Partnership for the inspiration.)
11 CENTRAL
Anyone looking for well-crafted cocktails that are a twist on the classics should belly up to the organically curved bar top for a pre, post or even during dinner beverage. Speaking of dinner, make sure you check out the extensive menu of upscale classic American fare. Maybe for last call - loses 9:30PM
2 FEET BREWING
Yes this is a “beer bar”, but the beers are unlike anything you will find elsewhere. They are out there! In the summer they have a great outdoor seating area and serve “adult slushies (so good) and they have an everchanging menu with things you’ve never heard of but that you will never forget! Try the wings. Trust us. They say they close at 9:00PM but we don’t believe it!
BENJAMIN’S PUB
If you haven’t been in to try one of Clarko’s Benjitos or other fun and elaborate cocktails, make it a point to get over there and rectify the situation. With arcade games, a pool table, video wall and seriously creative programming almost every week, there is always a party rewing. Dive into some comfort food like tachos while you are there. Closes at 11:00PM. This closing time is mostly wrong but it’s what they have posted. They will stay with you until 1 a.m.
BLAZE BANGOR, ME CRAFT BEER
Yes, they are a craft brewery but they have a cocktail menu built around top shelf liquors, infusions and shrubs. Blaze also has a food menu featuring dishes constructed with proteins from their own farms. How is that for quality control? Closes at 10:00PM (ish)
CAROLINA SPORTS & SPIRITS
Cue Red Hot Chili Peppers (Under the bridge downtown is where I want to go... IYKYK). Lots of live bands, DJs and a never ending list of shenanigans happening along with classic bar cocktails and a homey menu. Don’t forget their outdoor patio! These guys are your late night friends to the end 1:00AM DIAMONDS GENTLEMAN’S CLUB
We know there’s so much going on here that it would be easy for the cocktails to get overshadowed. Don’t let that happen! These guys won the Margarita Competition last year after all! The latest of the late spots, closing at 2:00 AM
HAPPY ENDINGS MARTINI, TAPAS & DESSERT BAR
Although they are called Happy Endings, they are a great place to begin the evening too. They cater to cocktails so be ready to be wowed with their everyday selection and all over again with seasonal additions. There is also dessert and a tapas menu. And did we mention desert? Closes 12:00AM.
LAZY HOUND
Bar owner Karyn had a dream. That dream involved crazy egg roll concoctions like turkey and stuffing egg rolls or pizza supreme egg rolls to name a few. Lazy Hound is small, warm and inviting with an evershifting food and cocktail menu. Another late night buddy, Lazy Hound closes at 1:00AM
THE MAIN TAVERN
Main Tavern has been here 4-evah! Some day,
Main Tavern and Waverly will duke it out for oldest establishment. But, in the meantime, they have DJs, karaoke, pool, a full bar menu and loads of Bangor history. Check it out everyone- another one open until 1:00AM!
NOCTURNEM DRAFT HAUS
Though they are known and celebrated for their extensive beer selection, Nocturnem has a full bar menu and you should definitely try their seasonal margaritas. Come for Taco Tuesdays or for their live music. In warmer months their back deck is always a hot spot. Closes at 11:00PM
PADDY MURPHY’S
Full bar menu and always a great selection of classic and microbrewed beer on tap. Home to trivia nights, karaoke, live bands and everything under the sun, Paddy’s is one stop shopping for a great meal paired with the beverage of your choice and some stellar entertainment to boot. A great late night choice that closes at 1:00AM
QUEEN CITY CINEMA CLUB
Owners Tiffany and Josh have conjured up a special place that lives at the intersection of Mario Kart tournaments, art shows and heavy metal performances. Check their Facebook page often because you never know what the heck will be going on. What you can count on are mind blowing food and cocktail selections with a funky pop culture twist. It says 10PM on their website, but they often are open until about 1AM
SEA DOG BREWING COMPANY BANGOR
This classic Maine brewery sits on the waterfront with an amazing view of the Penobscot River to accompany any beverage from their full bar. Add to the mix a pool table, lots of TV’s tuned to sporting events and a classic Maine fare menu (think fish and chips) and it is easy to imagine whiling away the hours. Closes at 10:00PM
TESORO NEW ITALIAN RESTAURANT AND TESORO LATE NIGHT
Tesoro pizzeria got a glow up to a full Italian restaurant with a full bar. They sell pizza by the slice late into the night and offer karaoke on Thursdays. They have a full drink menu and experienced bartenders ready to make your beverage dreams come true. A great late night spot closing at 1:00AM
THE BUTCHER THE BAKER
The Butcher The Baker has killer cocktails and inventive cuisine while forging their own path with
flavors that are completely their own. We have three words for you: Chicken and Waffles. Also, Lamb Shank Cacciatore Closes at 11:00PM
WAVERLY THE NEW RESTAURANT
A long standing downtown institution owned and operated by the same family for generations, Come prepared to play DJ on the jukebox or pool or arcade games. A great late night spot, closes at 12:00AM.
THE DARK HORSE
The newest addition to Downtown Bangor! The Dark Horse is a high end cocktail bar with small plate, farm to table dining. More information TBA.
THE STAGE DOOR

Bangor is the third-largest city in the state and the retail, cultural and service center for central, eastern, and northern Maine, as well as Atlantic Canada.
Bangor is 90 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Maine’s historic Mid-Coast town of Camden, and Baxter State Park, home to Mt. Katahdin, Maine’s highest peak. Many more small, quaint and historic towns, such as Greenville situated along Moosehead Lake, are just a day trip away and make Bangor the perfect starting point for the area’s recreational, cultural, and relaxation opportunities.
The architecture you will see when visiting Bangor’s historic Downtown tells tales of Bangor’s gilded age. Our many brick buildings are a tribute to the tenacious spirit of the citizens following the Great Fire of 1911. Our historic districts will provide you with a glimpse into the Queen City’s past. Music, theatre, outdoor adventure and more await you in Bangor! SOURCE: bangormaine.gov

DEDHAM
Named for a town in Massachusetts and first settled in 1810, Dedham was incorporated under its present name by the Legislature of Maine, Feb.7, 1837, and signed by “Hannibal Hamlin, Speaker of the House”. It is on the old stage route running from Bangor to Ellsworth, known at present as US Route 1A.
The Lake House, on this route, also known as “Lucerne Inn” was run by John L. Phillips in the early days and is the center of “Lucerne-inMaine”, the beauty spot of America. Because The old Massachusetts Colony at Dedham Village was known for years as “New Boston”, the inhabitants were accused of “putting on airs”.
Dedham has a mountain group with Bald Mt. the highest at 1261 feet above sea level. Here ten mountains are clustered, with their hill children all around. It has gained the name of “Switzerland of America”. Lakes of exquisite beauty lie among these hills and mountains, some so close they mirror the tops of the mountains in their waters.
