Make your wedding a historic moment!
Just as the history of the B&O Railroad has endured – reflected in the beauty and grandeur of the Museum’s locomotives, train cars, and buildings – so too will the cherished memories of your wedding day.
As a setting that feels at once amply spacious and warmly intimate, the National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation strikes a balance that few other venues can. Your guests will feel close but never crowded, and comfortable but never distant, as they come together to celebrate your love at the birthplace of American Railroading. So whether you’re sharing your first slice of cake in our historic Roundhouse or your first moonlit dance beneath our outdoor pavilion, the Museum is the perfect backdrop for the moments that matter most.
The National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation fully supports marriage equality, and we welcome all couples to spend their special day with us!

“I had no idea camps like this existed! It was truly inclusive, the counselors were accepting, kind and patient. It was incredibly affordable and very well organized. I can’t say enough great things about it. I am very grateful!”
