Group Volunteering at the B&O Railroad Museum

Save to Favorites

*For corporate groups, scouts, church groups, etc* For openings for individual volunteer opportunities, please visit the B&O Railroad Museum website.

Want a fun and novel place to volunteer with your group? Volunteer at the B&O Railroad Museum! The Museum is the birthplace of American Railroading and home to hundreds of historic rolling stock and railroading artifacts. The Museum is also a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom site.

We welcome groups of up to 20, from community organizations, businesses, sororities/fraternities, places of worship, and more. Group volunteer projects are a 1-time shift of 2-4 hrs (depending on the project) and are typically scheduled between 9:30 and 3:30 M-F.

Group Project participants should be 18+. Groups with minors (14+ required) should email the volunteer coordinator - hold harmless forms may be required as well as adult supervision.

Current projects we are looking for help on are:

• Helping us properly package and move a portion of our historic archives collection into storage. Much of our collection is currently stored in the basement of a large historic building that will be undergoing significant restoration as part of the 200 year anniversary of American railroading, with construction starting soon. This opportunity allows for some fun behind-the-scenes access! This opportunity does require light lifting, bending, walking (the Museum campus is large), and being on your feet for extended periods.

Group service projects are often subject to the weather. In the event of rain, it may be necessary to reschedule depending on the project planned.
