Fun spot located in boothbay! This museum teaches you all about railroad history in Maine, along with railroading history in general. There is various operational equipment that is used on a regular basis. It wasn't operating the day that I visited, but I saw that they still have a steam powered narrow gauge locomotive I imagine gets a turn every now and then. The model railroad display in the rear portion of the museum is a gem! I spoke with one of the museum staff and he told me that it took them twenty years to get it to where it's at today. Immediately adjacent to the model display is a model railroad repair and hobby shop! Definitely come check this place out if you've got a chance!

Great for railroad enthusiasts, but worth visiting if only for the model railroad layout or the outstanding vintage antique automobile collection.

Fun time for the whole family! From the train ride to each individual museum its s great time! It's set up as a small town and it has all you could want. One new thing this year I noticed was a ride in one of the antique cars!!!! This was the highlight for me. My kids loved the 2 goats they have on the property that you get to feed. I love this place and enjoy my yearly visit!

Great place to visit with the family, or just go to get away for the day. Train and History bluffs will love it. They even have a building full of antique cars. You can spend as little or as long as you like walking the grounds. Would be a great place for lunch. We will be going back.

Yes, at least 50 x 20 with multiple trains running. Including a car with a video camera to see the ground level view.
