Best of Bangor Walking Tour

Explore Bangor’s past on a guided walking tour that highlights a city shaped by the Maine North Woods and its days as a vital harbor. Hear about the fortunes made by lumber barons, the influence of shipping magnates and manufacturing pioneers, and pivotal moments that defined the community. Stories include the city’s first settlers, the British occupation during the War of 1812, the Great Fire of 1911, and a naval disaster once regarded as the worst in the United States before Pearl Harbor. The tour meets at the Bangor Historical Society’s Thomas A. Hill House. Tickets are $12 per person and must be purchased in advance. Group size is limited to 25 guests. Tours continue if it is simply raining, but are cancelled when thunderstorms are expected.
