VENUES & ATTRACTIONS
Baltimore Civil War Museum
On April 19, 1861, the first blood of the Civil War was shed as Union troops fought their way from the President Street Railroad Station to the B&O?s Camden Station through an angry mob of southern sympathizers. The Baltimore Civil War Museum, housed in President Street Station, one of the oldest surviving railroad stations in the country, examines the events of that day and highlights Maryland's divided loyalties and critical role as a border state during the war. In addition, visitors will hear the story of the station's important role in the escape of enslaved African Americans via the Underground Railroad. The Baltimore Civil War Museum is currently closed, but the building is worth a visit.
