Are New Mills, Brookfield, and Westville real towns in Maine?
Nope. Struggling mill towns are a sad reality up here, so it wasn’t difficult for me to create this fictional world, but Portland and Mt. Kineo (located in Rockwood on Moosehead Lake) are the only real locations visited by the characters in WFS. (Hallowell and Bangor , which are both mentioned briefly, are real as well).
