National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation, Neighbor

The Past. The Present. The Possible.

How can you experience progress at the National Museum of Railroad History and Innovation (formerly the B&O Railroad Museum)? Let us count the ways:

Ride a train along the first mile of commercial track ever laid in the country. Admire the machines that built a nation while you envision what will build the future. Or listen to fascinating stories of the past, present, and possible unfold in the very place where American railroading began.

However you choose to experience progress, our expansive (and expanding!) museum campus, which was the original railroading complex of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O), awaits. From the roundhouse to our collection of 19th century locomotives and from the archives to our highly anticipated innovation hall, you can experience a legacy of forward movement right here, where the ingenuity of American railroading started—and never stopped.

Welcome aboard!
