Hess Farm was a property located at 27 Heraty Bridge Road, in East Hawkins.[1]
History[]
1984[]
Bernard G. Hess was the original owner of the farm. In 1984, Hess was approached by a mysterious international enterprise named Starcourt Industries, who were interested in purchasing the property. On November 30, 1984, Hess agreed to sell the property at a cost of $80,000.[1]
In truth, Starcourt Industries was a shell entity controlled by the Soviet Union. Various properties in East Hawkins, including Hess Farm, were near transformers and the town's local power plant. The Soviets hoped to use the properties to siphon off energy from the town's power grid as part of a greater scheme.
1985[]
Following the acquisition of Hess Farm, covert Soviet forces built a structure underneath the farm, which would allow their scientists to hack the power grid in secret.
Hopper and Joyce found the farm on July 1st, 1985, where they discovered Dr. Alexei for the first time. However, Grigori had arrived at the farm minutes after them. When they realized he was also in the farm, they quickly tied up the Russians, hid, and waited for Grigori to enter the basement so they could ambush him. This did not exactly go as planned, and Hopper and Grigori ended up in a gunfight. Hopper was able to wound him and they managed to escape, taking Alexei with them as a prisoner.
