B & O Railroad Station Museum

Located on Maryland Avenue, this museum is the restored first terminus of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and was the destination of America's first steam engine, the 'Tom Thumb', in August 1830. Display areas include the stationmaster's quarters, a waiting room, a ticket office, a freight house and changing exhibits. The restored freight house offers a model railroad display of the first 13 miles of the line and a restored 1927 caboose.

Open Wednesday through Monday 11am-4pm in the summer; hours vary the rest of the year.
