WHO ARE WE?
Derry, Maine is a fictional town that appears in Stephen King's "IT". Our mission as a town is to create a safe environment for people from all walks of life, as well as to provide a broad range of services and a high quality of life for our citizens.
MAIN(E) ATTRACTIONS
The Quarry - The quarry is exactly what it sounds like- an open pit mine, full of water. In summer, our quarry serves as a picnic hotspot and a great place to swim.
The Falcon Bar - Located near the Derry Bus Station, The Falcon is a warm welcome into our town; especially for gay people. Though it is not an exclusively gay bar, it is frequented by gay people and serves as a safe place for them to mingle.
Derry Library - Frequented by Derry local Ben Hanscom, the Derry Library has an abundance of books of all genres, along with many other resources. It’s the perfect place to learn about Derry’s history, or to study for your classes at Derry High.
The Aladdin Theatre - Our movie theatre lies right in the center of our town, and for good reason; it’s the perfect place to catch a movie, grab some popcorn and have a good time. Now showing “Rebel Without A Cause”.
The House on 29 Neibolt Street - Built in the early 1800s, this house is an extremely popular tourist attraction because of the legends surrounding it. Some say it’s haunted by tortured spirits, but most people who visit claim that it’s enhabited by a shapeshifting extraterrestrial who manifests itself as your greatest fear... Visitors beware!
Derry, Maine: A small town in the Northeast US with a surprise around every corner. This town has much to teach us about overcoming our fears; unfortunately, many people never get to visit this town because the novel "IT" has been banned from multiple public schools due to its ‘obscene’ nature.
