The Boothbay Railway Village is searching for a creative and energetic individual to join its team as Education Director & Curator. The Museum’s extensive campus is located in the beautiful coastal community of Boothbay, Maine. The Board and staff have just completed a strategic planning process that describes a new and vibrant vision for the museum.
