Railroad Historical Society is a non-profit dedicated to railways, railway
modelling and all things trains We are particularly focussed on the preservation
of Boston and Maine (B&M)
artifacts and memorabillia. We also provide a local forum for modelling and
produce authentic New England (mostly Boston and Maine) model railroad car kits. Our major artifact is the
1870 Boston and Maine historic station located in Amesbury MA.
