Baltimore Streetcar Museum

Written by Matt Rosenfeld
The Baltimore Streetcar Museum presents visitors with a glimpse into what transportation was like in Baltimore during the hey-day of the streetcar, back in the early 1900s, with the last one taken off the lines in the mid-1960s.  These vehicles were the main way to get around the city and the suburbs of Baltimore back then.

The museum itself is pretty basic, mostly filled with photos of old streetcars along with captions about them. Outside in the "yard" are a number of antique street cars, most of which ran in the Baltimore area.

However, the best part of the visit is taking a ride on one of the streetcars and getting the feel for what it was like for people who used this in their regular commute.  There are also personnel dressed as train engineers that are there to answer any questions you may have.
