The Boothbay Railway Village is a museum, a non-profit educational organization. Nowhere else in New England can you ride the rails behind an authentic steam locomotive surrounded by historic Maine buildings preserved in a recreated village of aged and vintage buildings assembled from across Maine, and view a collection of 60 antique autos or experience model trains as never before. Throughout the season a wide variety of special events are hosted on the Museum’s Village Green from vintage ball games to car shows and family festivals.

Dream Wedding

Lori and everyone else at Boothbay Railway Village helped us make all of our wedding dreams come true.

Incredible coordination, flexibility, and the venue is tough to beat. Ample space indoors and out, trains, cars, goats, what more could you ask for?

The highlight was the steam train rides that the wedding party and guests were able to enjoy during our cocktail hour. Our guests had never seen anything like it!

Dream wedding location!!!

This location was so wonderful for everyone attending. The groom absolutely loves trains. The bride loved the goats. All the guests enjoyed touring this magical property as well as the train ride we added on. It made for a true one-of-a-kind wedding that will not be forgotten! Thank you to everyone that made this day so enchanting!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
