B&O Railroad Museum

Housed in a beautifully restored roundhouse, the B&O Museum is the birthplace of railroading in America. It occupies the very location where the first federally charted railroad began in 1827. Charles Carroll, revolutionary War patriot and last living signer of the Declaration of Independence, turned over the first spadeful of dirt on July 4, 1828.
Beginning in February of 2002 and extending to July of 2003, the B&O celebrates 175 Years on Track, a yearlong celebration of the B&O's exalted place in American history. The B&O is affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution.
