You’re going to see more restaurants and high-end (and low-end Baltimore kitsch for that matter) boutiques than you can throw a crab cake at. You’ll even have the chance to gaze your eyes upon the majestic mansions of Mt. Vernon.
But you’ll still be a $15 cab far away from one of the most important locations in American history… The B&O Railroad Museum is located at 901 West Pratt St and has been at that spot since 1829. It was within the walls of the B&O Railroad museum that a small group of pioneers sketched out the design for the first long distance American railroad system making it the birthplace of American railroading offering roundtrip rides on the first mile of track laid down all those years ago. These rides are offered now through December and are dirt cheap. Kids 2-12 ride for $1.00. Above 12? $2.00. Times are subject to change, so I’d suggest calling the museum ahead of time to make sure you can catch a lift. After your ride, stop in and check out the rest of the museum. There are about 200 pieces of different railroad artifacts to be seen. Admission for adults is $14. Seniors get in for $12, and kids can ride the rails of wonder for $8.
