Maryland on the Rails: The B&O’s Contribution to Maryland History Public Tour | B&O Railroad Museum

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.

The Underground Railroad exhibit particularly made an impression. You can learn about the enslaved people who passed through Mount Clare Station as their last stop before reaching the northern states. Sobering and inspiring stories.
