B&O Railroad Museum
Maryland
Housed in the 1884 Mount Clare roundhouse -- birthplace of American railroading, where the B&O's first stone was laid in 1828 -- with the country's oldest and most comprehensive collection of historic locomotives under one roof.
Why Roamward picked it
Story-first pick tying directly to the birthplace of American railroading; precise roundhouse coordinate makes it checkinable, and it diversifies the MD pillar beyond Baltimore's harbor cluster.
