Bangor: FUN FACT
As a former logging hub of the Northeast, Bangor, Maine, prides itself on being the birthplace of Paul Bunyan. So much so that a 31-foot-tall statue of the folklore legend keeps watch over Bangor citizens from Bass Park. Even cooler, the statue came to life in Stephen King’s famous novel It.
