Welcome to BRRM.net, online home of
The Brunswick Railroad Museum. The museum is located in the heart of
Historic Downtown Brunswick, Maryland!
For over 30 years, the Museum has preserved the history of Brunswick. Known during the Civil War as Berlin, this small town along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal and Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was incorperated as Brunswick in 1890. That same year the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad began construction of the 5 mile railyard that would reshape Brunswick into a company town with a population of over 5000!
The BRRM can be seen as two museums in one. On the second floor, the
Museum's exhibits tell the history of Brunswick and the people who
have lived here. Life-sized recreations of late
Victorian rooms arethe centerpiece of these
exhibits. On the Museum's third floor is a massive HO Scale model railroad which
accurately depicts the Baltimore & Ohio's Metropolitan Subdivision
from the west end of Brunswick's railyard eastward to Union Station in
Washington D.C., through many of the towns and cities along the line,
shown as they looked during the 1960s!
On the first floor, the Museum offers our Pete Harper Hands-on History Activity Room, as well as our Museum Store. Also at ground level, the National Park Service's Brunswick Visitor Center for the Chesapeake & Ohio National Historic Park deserves a visit.
