B&O Railroad Museum

Next weekend the B & O Railroad Museumwill commemorate the 150th Anniversary of President Lincoln's funeral train's stop in Baltimore with a weekend full of events.

Visitors will experience an immersive environment with re-enactments, music from the era, and will be able to "view" the martyred President in an authentic reproduction of his casket.  B & O Railroad Museum Executive Director Courtney Wilson, looks back at that chilly April when the Lincoln Funeral Train set off on its nearly 1,700 mile journey.
