Owls Head Transportation Museum

Fans of early automobiles and aircraft will find much to like about the Owls Head Transportation Museum. This museum features several rare examples of pioneer age cars and airplanes preserved in mint condition. Visitors who explore the museum's vast, well maintained interior will be rewarded with up close and personal viewing of more than can 100 classic planes, automobiles, carriages, bicycles and engines. Among the top finds are a 1903 Wright Flyer, one of the earliest aircraft produced by the inventors of heavier than air craft, the Wright Brothers; a 1917 Fokker Dr I Triplane from World War I; a refurbished 1908 Stanley K Semi-Racer automobile (interesting note: the Stanley automobile company, which was famous for manufacturing steam-powered cars, was headquartered in nearby Kingfield, Maine and a museum is located in that western Maine town dedicated to the Stanley company); and an early model 1955 Ford Thunderbird car.
