ABERDEEN B&O TRAIN STATION

OPEN HOUSE

December 3, 2022

11 to 2 pm

The Friends of the Aberdeen B&O Train Station, Inc. are announcing an Open House of the historic structure.  On December 3, 2022, the Friends will open the building to the public from 11 to 2 pm.  The Friends will also have a table in Festival Park following the Aberdeen Christmas Parade.

Thomas the Tank Engine Train set will be running for the children to enjoy.

The event will take place rain or shine.  The Train Station is located at 404 West Bel Air Avenue, Aberdeen.

The Aberdeen B&O Station was constructed in 1885 and designed by the noted architect Frank H. Furness. The Aberdeen B&O Station is one of only two surviving stations that Mr. Furness designed for the B&O railroad. The station is eligible for the Maryland Register of Historic Properties as well as National Register of Historic Places.

The Friends expect to commence Phase III of the rehabilitation in early 2023. This includes replacing the slate roof, replacing or repairing windows, doors, brick work and shingle siding to bring the appearance back to the building’s construction in 1885.
