The B&O Railroad Museum is the birthplace of American Railroading, we tell the story of the industrial, economic, and cultural impact the railroads had on the city, the nation, and the world. Additionally, our museum strives to be a central resource for the community to find support and thrive in a 21 st century landscape: through workforce development programs, educational outreach and programs, historical preservation, and events.
We are eager to find like-minded individuals who share the same passion for history or civic involvement and want to commit to preserving the story of American Railroading and the B&O! Our Rail Operations team focus on maintaining the first mile commercial railroad made in the United States, in addition to support our Train Rides for patrons. Training for all equipment, safety procedures, and rail work will be provided. Volunteers with experience in landscaping is a plus, but not required.
Volunteers assist in every department of the B&O Railroad Museum. Most volunteers commit to one shift per week. While we encourage and prefer a weekly commitment, the minimum requirement to volunteer for most roles is one 6-hour shift per month for a year.2 More opportunities with Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum
