Bangor sits on the Penobscot River, a city that in the 19th century was known as the lumber capital of the world. Today it is the regional center for healthcare, retail and services for much of central, eastern and northern Maine, with Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center as a major employer, and the University of Maine just upriver in Orono. The city is also known as the longtime home of novelist Stephen King, whose Victorian house is a popular stop for fans.
Bangor is about four hours from Boston by car and much farther from New York, and Bangor International Airport’s long runway sits just a few miles from downtown. Flying private makes the trip practical for business at the hospital or university, visits to students in Orono and access to northern Maine’s lakes, hunting and fishing camps and ski areas. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are about an hour’s drive away. Visitors come for summer concerts on the waterfront, the Cole Land Transportation Museum and outdoor recreation along the Penobscot.

Fall foliage peaks in early October, a beautiful time for drives along the Penobscot. Winters are long, cold and snowy, with skiing and snowmobiling to the north, and spring arrives late, often with a muddy transition into summer.
