Brunswick Railroad Museum
A railroad life museum.

Category: Brunswick Museum near Frederick, Maryland
User Rating

Description of this Frederick area Attraction: The Brunswick Railroad Museum is suitable for all ages. On the first floor you may enter the C&O canal National historic park Visitor center at no charge, then don't forget to check out our new "Hands on History" children's educational playroom. Then it is time to journey to 1900 on the second floor to see how a railroad worker for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad lived here in Brunswick, and see how an industry can greatly affect the lives of those near it. After taking in the exhibits there, you may wander up to our third floor for exhibits of railroad tools and artifacts, and our 1700 squair foot model railroad, one of the largest HO scale layouts in the eatern US. The model represents the B&O's main line, the Metropolitan Subdivision, from Washington DC to Brunswick Maryland, and the huge Brunswick Classification yards, believed to at one point have been the largest railroad yards in the country. When you are done with your visit, the CSX railroad now operates the line modeled, and you can see real trains in modern freight service. As of yet, only our first floor is wheelchair accessable, but we hope to soon begin constructionon our elevator.

Monocacy National Battlefield
National Park

Category: Frederick National Park in Maryland

Description of this Frederick Attraction: Known as the "Battle That Saved Washington", the battle of Monocacy on July 9, 1864 between 18,000 Confederate forces under General Jubal Early, and 5,800 Union forces under General Lew Wallace, marked the last campaign of the Confederacy to carry the war into the north. One of the objectives of this campaign was to capture Washington, D.C.

Although this battle was a military victory for the Confederates, it was also a defeat. Time spent for battle cost the Confederates a day's delay in marching on the federal capital. General Lew Wallace's defense along the Monocacy bought critical time to allow Washington to be reinforced. Early's raid would be thwarted and the war would be taken to the south for the rest of the war.
