(Bangor) Cole Land Transportation Museum
Our purpose at the Cole Land Transportation Museum is to collect, preserve, and display (before they disappear forever) a cross section of Maine's land transportation equipment from which this and future generations will gain knowledge of the past. We also wish to remember, record and display U.S. military memorabilia to forever remind this and future generations of the high price our comrades have paid to protect our freedom. In doing so, we hope to inspire and challenge the young people of today to continue on in the footsteps of pioneers who have built our state and country.
(Boothbay) Boothbay Railway Village
The Boothbay Railway Village is comprised of over ten acres and 28 historic structures. It is the village and its Village Green where exciting events and activities take place. To get an overview of the village layout see our map. Events such as Antique Auto Days take place on the Village Green. The large white building is the restored 1847 Town Hall. Two very impressive restorations are the Town Hall and the Spruce Point Chapel. These historic structures are an important part of the village and provide vital examples of locally significant buildings. Additionally these buildings are in constant use by civic organizations, non-profit groups and a church congregation.
