Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum
|
| Address: 4155 Mears Avenue, Chesapeake Beach, MARYLAND, 20732 USA. Tel.: 410-257-3892 Toll Free: |
| The museum is the 1898 former CB terminal station. The museum is also concerned with the former resort at Chesapeake Beach which was tied to the railroad. Thanks to the work of local preservationists and the Calvert County Historical Society, the old railroad station can take you further than ever, because now it guides you on a journey through time. The Chesapeake Beach Railway station, fashioned into a museum in 1979, recreates memories of the bayside resort of nearly a century ago. The museum offers visitors an audio-visual presentation featuring the history of the Chesapeake Beach Railway [and newsreel footage of the CB from the 1930's], as well as artifacts, photographs, and exhibits portraying resort life and transportation in the early 1900's." |
