A Celebration of the Launch of the “Legacy of the Underground Railroad” 

The B&O Railroad Museum is proud to announce the launch of the “Legacy of the Underground Railroad” website, an educational resource that brings original source material from the Museum’s The Underground Railroad: Freedom Seekers on the B&O Railroad exhibit into classrooms and homes everywhere!

At the heart of the new site is Network to Freedom, an original musical telling of the history of the B&O Railroad as an Underground Railroad Network to Freedom site, composed by lyricist Wordsmith and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

On September 26, in celebration of this amazing new learning tool, the B&O invites you to attend a live performance of Network to Freedom by Wordsmith and a string trio from the BSO. Commemorate Underground Railroad Month by immersing yourself in the stories of freedom seekers who used the railroad in their path to liberation.

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.
