Welcome to Derry, Maine. Sort of.

The real places behind Derry

For fans of IT, downtown Port Hope can look strangely familiar. Its historic streets, buildings and public spaces became the fictional town of Derry for IT Chapter One, IT Chapter Two and, more recently, IT: Welcome to Derry.

Join Jordan and Buddy for an approximately 90-minute walk through the real places behind the screen. We'll connect familiar locations to scenes, talk about what the production changed, and share the local stories behind Port Hope becoming one of Derry's most recognizable real-world homes.

This is not just a walk between pins on a map. It is a relaxed chance to ask questions, compare favourite scenes and make the places mean something while you are standing in front of them.

What you'll see

Small-town streets with a big-screen story.

You do not need to be an IT expert. The walk is designed for serious fans, families, filming-location visitors and anyone curious about how Port Hope became Derry.

Recognizable locations

Visit downtown landmarks and streets used throughout IT Chapter One and IT Chapter Two.

Movie magic

See where signs, storefronts, set dressing and production changes helped turn Port Hope into Derry.

Local context

Connect what appeared on screen with the real town and a little Port Hope history along the way.

Photo moments

Find spots to recreate shots, compare scenes and take your own Derry photos.

Meet your guides

Local stories, led locally.

Jordan is a Port Hope local who genuinely loves showing people around town and knows considerably more random Port Hope information than any reasonable person probably should.

Buddy is Jordan's friendly rescue dog and the official unofficial co-guide of Jordan's Tours. He does not know much about Stephen King, but he is considerably more popular than Jordan.

Buddy normally participates in the tour, so guests with serious dog allergies or anyone uncomfortable around dogs should take that into consideration when booking.

Tickets

Please arrive approximately 10 minutes before departure. Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the forecast.

Families and tickets

Everyone in your party needs a ticket.

The walk is welcoming and family-friendly, but the films and stories come from the horror genre. Parents and guardians should use their judgment based on their child's comfort with IT and its subject matter.

Weather

Dress for a walk outside.

Tours operate in most normal weather conditions. If Jordan's Tours cancels because conditions make the walk unsafe or impractical, affected guests will be contacted regarding their booking.

Why take the tour?

You can walk around downtown Port Hope by yourself and find filming locations. The point of this tour is to connect what you are looking at to what appeared on screen, talk about how Derry was created around the real town, and share the experience with other people who think this stuff is cool.
