Boothbay Railway Village
Beside Route 27, about a mile outside Boothbay Harbor, this charming recreation of a New England village has more than two dozen small, historic, and reconstructed Maine structures, including a general store, train station, blacksmith shop, firehouse, hardware store, toy shop, and covered bridge. More than 60 automobiles are also on display. Take a ride on the passenger train—pulled by a century-old, coal-fired steam locomotive—that loops through the 30-acre site on a narrow-gauge track. Activities might also include Model T rides, demonstrations by blacksmiths and other artisans, and special events on the village green.
