"Presidential Passages" Public Tour | B&O Railroad Museum

Public Tour

Over the years, United States Presidents have interacted with railroading and specifically the B&O Railroad in many ways.

From riding the rails as a passenger, to enacting legislation that impacted the railroad, being commemorated on the railroad and even using the railroad to travel to their final resting place; presidential and federal history has been intertwined with our history here at the B&O for many years. In this tour we explore the connections between American railroading and our nation’s executive history.

Wonderful rail museum with many historic engines, passenger cars, mail car, troop transport, and more. Several models layouts including the Smithsonian collection of models which was amazing. Wonderful presentation on the underground railroad. We will visit again.
