On Saturday, July 2 the Boothbay Railway Village will host a meet of antique engines and other early mechanical devises in partnership with the Maine Antique Power Association (MAPA). Engine buffs and lovers of all things mechanical will enjoy this opportunity to see “one lungers” and other early gasoline, diesel and steam engines operate and to learn about them first-hand from their passionate owners.

For the first time ever invitations have also been extended to members of the Antique Outboard Motor Club’s Pine Tree Chapter to participate. The Museum’s engine exhibit is currently under extensive renovations to accommodate a gift of nearly 300 vintage outboard motors from a private collection. A preview of twenty-five of the most compelling outboards is on display inside the antique auto exhibit and will be open during the meet.

The Village will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with hourly steam train departures between 11 and 4. Admission to the Museum is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $5 for children. Museum Members and children under 3 are free. Well-behaved and leashed four-legged friends are welcome.  Contact the Boothbay Railway Village for more information at (207) 633-4727, or online at www.railwayvillage.org.  The Boothbay Railway Village is located at 586 Wiscasset Road, Route 27 in Boothbay, Maine.
