Large collection of locomotives |
901 W Pratt Street Baltimore, MD 21223 United States +1 410 752 2490 http://www.borail.org |
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was once one of the most important freight and passenger lines in the country. This museum, located in a converted switching yard west of downtown, was the final destination for dozens of the steam locomotives and diesel engines that traveled along that railroad. Visitors are welcome to climb aboard and inspect the giant machines, many of which are kept in a restored house that also holds a wealth of historical displays and railroad memorabilia. Adults pay USD12, Seniors USD10, Children (2-12 years) USD6 and children under two years of age can come free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Inspiration for the national anthem |
End of East Fort Avenue 2400 East Fort Avenue Baltimore, MD 21230-5393 United States +1 410 962 4290 http://www.nps.gov/fomc/ |
The sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry during the War Of 1812 inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the national anthem, the 'Star Spangled Banner.' A replica of that flag waves over the harbor-side port, now a tranquil National Park. The restored barracks hold exhibits of military and historical artifacts, and a well-kept trail runs along the water's edge, affording spectacular views of ships entering and leaving the busy harbor. Admission: USD5 for adults, children 15 and under get in free. National Park passes are welcome. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic sailing vessel |
301 East Pratt Street (Pier 1) Baltimore, MD 21202-3134 United States +1 410 539 1797 http://www.constellation.org |
Commissioned in 1855, the USS Constellation was the last all-sail ship built by the United States Navy. Today, the historic vessel lies at anchor in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, where visitors can climb aboard and learn about the ship's history, including its mission to disrupt the slave trade, and its latter role in delivering famine relief supplies to Ireland.
