Community Events & Partnerships

The National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation and Paul’s Place joined to launch Groundwork Kitchen Café at the B&O, offering healthy menu options for children and adults alike. Groundwork Kitchen is a full-service restaurant and catering company that offers free culinary training for individuals interested in a career in hospitality. Their free 12-week workforce development program was created in 2021 in an effort to transform lives, disrupt poverty, and offer life skills and career training to nourish the community through food.

The National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation is proud to help support the efforts of B-360, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering and uplifting youth in our local communities through dirt biking. It has been our honor to offer one of the Museum’s supplementary parking areas as a safe space for B-360 to help young Baltimoreans develop not only their dirt-biking abilities, but also their technical skills and career readiness, while keeping them from harmful situations and improving overall outcomes.
