A few miles south, a collector in 1946 took on the rebuilding of a 1907 Stanley Steamer and this
project has grown into more than 80 antique automobiles at the Auto Museum in Wells. The
collection now includes five Steamers and other vintage brass headlamp antiques many dating to
before 1915. the collection includes antique coin games, arcade memorabilia, and nickelodeons.
If your passion runs to steam trains rather than autos or trolleys, a short drive north along the coast will
take you to The Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum with tracks along Casco Bay in the
beautifully restored waterfront district of Portland. Here crews run daily passenger trains past the old
forts, ship terminals, and lighthouses of Portland Harbor.
Crews fired up the Museum's four steam locomotives for special events and holiday weekends. A
huge hit with train buffs is the "Guest Engineer" program where weekend visitors learn how to run the
locomotive. They then run the steam engine up and down the tracks along the bay.
