Museums in United States

Boothbay Railway Village

Although the Boothbay Museum is primarily devoted to exhibits on railroading, there is a display of antique cars. About 25 autos are in the collection of which 22 are on display. The cars range from a 1911 Ford up to more recent classics. Since many,of the cars are on loan, the exhibit continually changes. The railroad section features a 11/2-mile loop of 2-ft. gauge track over which a steam train operates when the museum is open and two stations filled with historic items. Another part of the Museum consists of a reproduction of an early New England village.
