About Our Town
Boothbay includes Sawyers Island, Barters Island and East Boothbay; a quaint scenic
village where the largest concentration of boat builders
in the region was located in the
18th and 19th centuries. 

It was here that the schooner Bowdoin
was built for the Artic explorer, Commander Harold B. MacMillian.  The Boothbay Railway Museum is a popular attraction, where you can ride Maine's only 2' narrow gauge railway.  The Botanical Gardens are fun to explore with paths that wind and reveal a wealth of nature's beauty.  The Summer Theater showcases a unique blend of local and nations talent.  Boothbay Region Land Trust is home to over 924 acres for self-guided tours.  Lest we forget nearby Fort Edgecomb and the Sheepscot River; whose pottery is a must see for visitors.

Just Minutes Down the Road
Stroll Boothbay Harbor's beautiful winding streets dotted with shops, wonderful restaurants, and beautiful historic homes.  Just down the street, enjoy a round of golf at The Boothbay Country Club.  Be sure to visit the unique footbridge that spans the inner harbor.  There are plenty of art galleries; we have our own Opera House, and Windjammer Days in June is a terrific way to celebrate our harbor and sailing heritage.  It's all a photographer's dream.
