Reply to "B & O Museum"

I am with Boilermaker. Unfortunately the crime in Baltimore has to be more of consideration in ones plans these days. Perhaps you may want to consider overnighting in Havre de Grace and taking in the town and railroad bridge crossing the Susquehanna; then head south for a visit to the B&O train museum (the museum parking is very good) and on to lunch at G&M, then on to the Thomas Viaduct and the Avalon area of the Patapsaco State Park, then on to Ellicott City via 166/S.Rolling Road/Frederick Road.

To my knowledge, Havre de Grace also has its issues in a few areas. However, it also has a few bed and breakfasts and a killer lighthouse and promenade along the shore. The town is picturesque.However, the Route 40 corridor is a little iffy at times (I live a few miles off of it so I know). I haven’t been to the museum since I was a kid, but I remember the rotunda and the extensive yard. Furthermore, maybe look into the trolley museum. They had a building collapse or fire a few yrs back and I’m not sure if it’s back to 100%, but this was another memorable childhood outing. If it’s the same as it was 15-20 yrs ago you get unlimited (short) trolley rides from most of their fleet. I haven’t been to Baltimore city in a couple yrs, but crime is bad. Canton/Fed hill are having some issues (enough to be reported on the local news), and they are the young yuppy areas. As long as both museums are still up to snuff, they should be fun. I wouldn’t mind heading back to both in the coming yrs.
