Volunteer at the B&O!

We have multiple options for volunteering at the B&O! We are always seeking volunteers who are passionate about sharing the stories of American railroading, enthusiastic about historic preservation, and enjoy serving our community.

See the options below for all types of volunteering. Note: For individual adult volunteers, we ask that you can give a minimum of (1) 6-hour shift per month for 1 year. Typically, volunteers at the Museum work a weekly shift.
