Public Tour

From Baltimore’s development into a major shipping and immigration hub, major advancements in transportation and communication, and the fight for freedom and equal rights during the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement the B&O Railroad has been witness to many milestones in Maryland history.

This tour will examine how Maryland before 1827 became an ideal location for the B&O Railroad and as a result how the B&O Railroad has continued to contribute to the robust history of the state of Maryland.

My family had a wonderful time in this museum! It’s the perfect balance of visually appealing and interactive for my boys (ages 5 & 8). We would definitely go again!
