Discovery Day: Trains!

Celebrate Gaithersburg’s long and storied history with the railroad. View BANTRAK N-Gauge model train displays, explore a caboose and RDC rail car, visit and take a photo with the 1918 steam locomotive on display in the adjacent History Park, and discover hands-on learning centers in the museum. With any luck visitors can also enjoy the sights and sounds of the actual CSX and Amtrak trains that frequently rumble past the Museum.
