The Boothbay Railway Village will host a program titled “Largest Public Works in Maine, 1900-1950” at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
Admission is free. This is the second in the museum’s winter speakers series.
Historian and model maker George Barrett will discuss the significance of the biggest public works projects in Maine during the first half of the 20th century.
“If you’re old enough the images will be nostalgic, if you’re younger they’ll be informative,” a Boothbay Railway Village release states.
The presentation includes a “variety of views, some old, some new, many that have not been seen before,” the release states. “With the help of fascinating, rare and vintage photos you will be provided with an entertaining and enlightening experience.”
