Founded in 1974 and located off the beaten tourist path in a pine forest off Route 73, the Owls Head Transportation Museum explores the history of not just aviation, but also automobiles, bicycles, trains, and old factory engines. It started with one high-wheel bicycle, a 100-ton working steam engine, two antique automobiles, and two old aircraft to become one the America’s most comprehensive transportation collections.

Those who live in the area are used to watching the museum’s demonstrations and shows – every single vehicle in the museum is fully operational. A bunch of highly skilled craftsmen work hard to keep each mechanical piece of history in top functioning condition. Check the museum’s schedule for shows and demonstrations so you can take part in them.
