If you've ever seen the classic coming-of-age Stephen King movie Stand by Me, you'll notice that Brownsville is the setting for Castle Rock. If you keep your eyes peeled as you wander around the historic town, you should even start to recognize some filming locations. Head to Pioneer Park when you're looking for a leisurely riverside stroll, and have a picnic amidst timeless natural surroundings. If you really want to feel like you're stepping into the movie, don't miss the town's annual "Stand By Me Day" every July 23rd. They take nostalgia to the next level, with 1950s children's games and blueberry pie.
