Huntington Railroad Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Huntington Railroad Museum is a railroad museum located in Bowie, Maryland.
The museum is owned by the municipal government and is located in the Bowie railroad station. It hosts several displays featuring Bowie's railroad history, including artifacts and photographs.
A 1922 Norfolk and Western Railroad caboose is located on the museum grounds. There is no admission charge to the museum which is handicapped accessible.
The City of Bowie purchased the buildings that comprise the museum from the railroad and located them together on the current museum site in 1992. These buildings were then restored in collaboration with the Huntington Heritage Society, Inc.
The museum always welcomes volunteers from the members of the Huntington Heritage Society, Inc.
The buildings are located at 8614 Chestnut Avenue, near the intersections of 11th Street, close to the rail line. The City of Bowie maintains six sites in its museum system.
