Public Tour
At the height of Irish immigration to America in the mid-1800s, Baltimore was one of the major cities to see a large influx of Irish immigrants and a time when the B&O Railroad was expanding and looking to hire more workers. This tour will explore the legacy of Irish American railroad workers through the equipment they worked on. Today we will discover Irish immigrants and their descendants in all levels of employment at the B&O from laborers, to supervisors, directors and founders.
Included with Admission. B&O Members FREE.
