Boothbay Railway Village Museum
Boothbay Railway Village Museum
History

Living-history railway village museum with operating narrow-gauge steam train and restored historic buildings — covers railroad technology history and 19th-century New England life.

What families say
This spot is way more than trains — expect a vintage car collection, model train layouts, tractors, outboard motors, and even a salt-and-pepper shaker museum, plus a real steam train ride around the grounds (kids especially love the working model train building). Plan for 2-3 hours, though families say you could easily fill a whole day; the general store has snacks if you need a break. Several reviewers warn the buildings get hot on warm days with no fans, so bring water and sunscreen.
