‘The Hunger Games’ Town Up For Sale

The Takeaway

Do you want to own Peeta Mellark’s family bakery or Katniss Everdeen’s family home from “The Hunger Games”? You’re in luck, the entire town of Henry Mill Village where scenes for District 12 were filmed is on the auction block. The catch? Just make sure you have a cool $1.4 million lying around. Wade Shepherd, the owner of the 72-acre property near Hildebran, North Carolina is putting the town up for sale after the village’s recent popularity among fans visiting the now vacant area.
