"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.

Admission:

Included with Museum Admission. B&O Members FREE.

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.
