Boothbay Region Historical

Hours: Boothbay Region Historical Society, originally founded in 1967 and now housed in an 1874 home on Oak Street, is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Boothbay region, including Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, and Southport. The society features ongoing exhibits with photographs, ship models, maps, and artifacts that illustrate the area's development from a working waterfront to a popular summer destination. Inside, visitors can explore archives containing family files, newspapers, and records, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in local genealogy or history. The museum's welcoming atmosphere, with its shaded yard and front porch, creates a friendly experience that feels more like visiting a neighbor than a traditional museum. The society also offers a variety of programs throughout the year to promote interest in regional history. Overall, it serves as a quiet yet essential place where the stories of this coastal community are preserved and shared, connecting visitors with the lives and heritage of those who shaped the area.
