New England Electric Railway Historical Society’s Seashore Trolley Museum, located in Kennebunkport, Maine, pioneered the field of volunteer-sponsored rail preservation worldwide when it was founded in 1939. Guests are treated to rides on our heritage electric railway, aboard trolleys our talented volunteers and staff have restored to their original glory. Hundreds of transit artifacts are on display around our 350-acre campus.

Over 450 volunteers and 14 staff keep our campus running, year-round. Dozens of volunteers are on campus part-time or full-time themselves each week working in our Restoration Shop, on our Railway Operations Crew operating the trolleys for our guests, our grounds and maintenance team, crews maintaining our track, signals, and overhead infrastructure. Seashore Trolley Museum is an inspiring place to work, and we hope you consider applying to be part of our team.
