The National Museum of Railroad History and Innovation, formerly the B&O Railroad Museum, interprets American rail history at Baltimore's historic Mount Clare site.
Locomotives, rolling stock, and the roundhouse setting connect technological change with the movement of people and goods. The current name reflects a broader national story rooted in this important railway landscape.
Check the museum's current visitor information and exhibition schedule before arriving. Train rides, demonstrations, and special programs can have separate operating days or ticket requirements, so confirm those experiences rather than assuming they are included with every visit.
