School's Out: From Fields to the Thanksgiving Table Tour - National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation

Area schools are off or releasing early, so join us at the B&O for our kid-friendly From Fields to the Thanksgiving Table: The History of Freight Transport Junior Tour! On this tour, visitors will discover how technology has enabled the railroad to become a primary method to transport many of the foods they see on the Thanksgiving table. We will learn about different types of freight cars and discover how they are specialized depending on the products they are meant to carry.

Tour is offered Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 1 PM and Thursday, Nov. 24 at 11 AM.

Tour is included with regular Museum Admission.
