Explore the B&O with your students from the classroom or right from home. 

In order to support teachers and students from all different learning environments and locations, the B&O Railroad Museum is offering many of our field trip programs as either on-site or virtual experiences. Our tours and Railroad Storytime program can be easily adapted for virtual learning while our workshops still require an in-person visit.

We did the train ride and our guide on board was excellent (history/information for the parents).
