Laurel Rides the Rails: Tales of Trains and Trolleys
Laurel Rides the Rails: Tales of Trains and Trolleys is more than just the history of rail travel in Laurel. It is a collection of tales told by entrepreneurs, corporations, eager inventors, dedicated laborers, and everyday people who saw the future of Laurel tied to the iron railways and the electric trolleys that connect it to the bustling streets of Washington, D.C., the busy ports of Baltimore, and to the manufacturing centers of the Midwest.
Along with the exhibit, we will feature items from our collection that highlight some of Laurel’s transportation history. Included are items from the Laurel Train Station, a mail hook used to hook mail from moving trains, and a telegraph! Also, there will be a train garden on display for children and adults alike.
The exhibit will be on display from February 8th until the museum closes for the year on December 21st, 2025. The Museum is open Friday-Sunday 12-4pm, and is located at 817 Main Street, Laurel, MD. Admission is always free!
