SITES AND MUSEUMS

Bowie Railroad Station and Huntington Museum

Modern Bowie grew around the junction of the rail lines connecting Southern Maryland, Washington, and Baltimore. In 1853, Maryland's Legislature granted a charter to form the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Company to begin construction of a railroad through Southern Maryland. Today's structures, built in early 20^th century and later owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, recall a time when railways were America's foremost mode of passenger transportation and shipping.
