stopped.

ceiling, can host elegant soirees to
casual lobster bakes.
The Village Green
The large, green expanse of the
Village Green can be tented to host
events with guest lists larger than
most any other site on the Boothbay
Peninsula, and the Museum now has
ample parking to match. The Green

ceremonies and wedding portraits.
Vintage
Transportation
For events both on our grounds and
elsewhere in the region, the Museum can
also help you make a truly magnificent
entrance. Imagine walking out of the
front of your church to climb inside a
classic 1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II,
to be whisked away to your reception
site in ultimate style!

trip back in time. The Museum offers its

park the Caboose near our shady picnic
area for you to enjoy cake, presents and
other birthday traditions before
“hooking on” and taking your group on
a train ride aboard the Caboose.
