Baltimore Streetcar Museum

The Baltimore Streetcar Museum houses restored streetcars in a historic facility dedicated to the city's transportation past. The collection spans about a century of vehicles, showing different generations of design and engineering from the streetcar era.

The museum was founded in 1966 to preserve streetcars that operated between 1859 and 1944, a period when these vehicles were vital to Baltimore's daily transportation. The collection captures how streetcar design and technology shifted across many decades of operation.

The streetcars on display represent different periods of Baltimore's public transit and show how people moved around the city over time. You can see the design changes that happened as transportation technology improved and urban life evolved.

The museum is most accessible during warmer months and welcomes visitors on weekends, with extended hours during summer. Plan ahead to check current opening times, as schedules can vary depending on the season and day of the week.

The museum operates an active workshop where volunteers continuously restore and maintain the streetcars to keep them in working condition. Visitors can observe craftspeople using traditional techniques to preserve these vehicles for future generations.
