Bangor is the seat of Penobscot County, Maine. Its historic downtown is full of new shops, boutiques and restaurants. The restored Waterfront has been transformed into a major regional event center.  The city’s rich lumber history can be enjoyed on almost every street. The industry allowed local ‘lumber barons’ to build grand brick and wood mansions throughout the city.  Opened in 1836, Mt. Hope is the country’s second-largest garden cemetery.  Fans of horror master Stephen King can sign up for a specialized tour of area locations featured in King’s books, films and inspirations.  The Bangor Waterfront, on the Penobscot River, hosts a concert series in the Darling Waterfront Pavilion (16,000 seats) as well as the annual American Folk Festival. Downtown, the historic Bangor Opera House hosts the Penobscot Theatre Company.  Built inside a restored department store downtown, the University of Maine Art Museum specializes in modern and contemporary art. The Cole Land Transportation Museum features historic cars, trucks, motorcycles, snowplows and train cars. The Maine Forest and Logging Museum, just outside Bangor in the town of Bradley, explains the industry that built the region.
