B&O Railroad Museum

Nicknamed “Baldwin’s Cathedral” after its architect, E. Francis Baldwin, the Museum’s stunning Roundhouse has been a Baltimore icon for over 136 years. It was the largest circular industrial building in the world when completed covering more than an acre and rising 125 feet into the air. One of the most versatile venues in the region, the B&O Railroad Museum Roundhouse is ideal for corporate events, receptions, galas and much more. The possibilities are unlimited.

The B&O Railroad Museum Pavilion’s vast and expansive outdoor space offers the opportunity for a wide range of gatherings as well as spectacular views of the historic 1884 Baldwin Roundhouse. The Pavilion is ideal for outdoor receptions, reunions, company crab feasts, or picnics for large to small groups. Available Year-Round.

Located by our spacious outdoor area, mere feet from the B&O’s historic 1884 Roundhouse, the Harry C. Eck Education Station provides the ideal, multi-purpose meeting space. This 1,200-square-foot facility comfortably accommodates up to 110 guests and features a presentation area including a projector with a screen. Perfect for retreats, off-site meetings, and more.

When you step foot onto the grounds of the B&O Railroad Museum, where the first chapter of American railroading was written, you embark on a journey through time. The B&O affords visitors the opportunity to step into history, and that’s what your guests will get to do when you book the Royal Blue Observation Lounge Car. This vintage 1948 rail car, featuring table & lounge seating, a bright art deco interior with bar, provides the optimal setting for intimate gatherings in a truly unique, authentically historic space unlike any other in Baltimore. Give your guests an extraordinary experience at the B&O.
