COVID-19 Policies for outdoor Hunt’s Photo Walks and Workshops
At this time, face masks are not required for our Photo Walks. We ask that you maintain social distance whenever possible.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! We will gladly give you a credit towards a future walk.

Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a unique workshop at the Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railway in Alna, Maine. On the workshop, we will photograph around the train yard of steam locomotives running, and also be present for (and photograph) a World War 1 Re-Enactment Encampment full of soldiers in period uniforms and attire.
The Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington Railway was developed in the late-1800s for a planned (but never realized) line to Quebec. The line, which never made it to Waterville or Farmington, was abandoned in the 1930s. The WW&F Railway Museum was developed over a shorter portion of the track and contains a fully restored and operational steam train and (occasionally) hosts reenactments.
