As the Baltimore Streetcar Museum celebrates its 60th anniversary, it is preparing to launch a $28 million capital campaign to renovate its city campus — an effort that potentially could proceed more swiftly now that two buildings have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Special Feature - Baltimore Heritage at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum

We were truly honored to host Baltimore Heritage's 2026 Preservation Celebration this past Thursday evening, October 8. This was a fantastic opportunity for our organization to welcome guests passionate about preserving Baltimore's culture and history for an evening spent at our museum with our historic streetcars under the stars.

Along with the incredible opportunity to host this event, we are excited to announce that we were the First Place winner in Baltimore Heritage's annual Microgrant competition! This generous grant will fund our new 2027 exhibit "Liberty Calling: How America Sold Patriotism on the Streetcar".

We extend our sincere thanks to Johns Hopkins, Molly Ricks, and the entire Baltimore Heritage team for all of their hard work and collaboration in making this event such a success, as well as our volunteer crews who expertly handled parking, overall coordination, and streetcar operations, including transporting our guests to and from their vehicles on our historic streetcars.

Thank you Baltimore Heritage!

A Special Night and Special Announcement!
This past Friday evening, we hosted our 60th Anniversary Jubilee. It was a fun and fitting tribute to the past 60 years and included a special announcement about our exciting future.
Nearly 100 attendees joined us to commemorate this milestone event. Attendees included elected officials and their staff at the federal, state and local levels, as well as our community and cultural partners. Museum members with 40 or more years of continuous membership also received special recognition.
During the remarks, our Executive Director Matt Nawn made an exciting announcement: the former Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad Freight Shed at 2201 Falls Road and the former Maryland & Pennsylvania Roundhouse at 2601 Falls Road have been added to the National Register of Historic Places! These designations further amplify our efforts to deliver a new museum campus as part of our Future Vision. We are truly grateful for the efforts of our partners at the City of Baltimore who spearheaded these nominations.
We especially thank our volunteer event planning team, led by Mary Amrhein-Thillman, our event planning contractors, and every volunteer and staff member who made this event a resounding success and an evening to remember.
Videos of the evening's remarks can be viewed on our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHp5lDxIdDvaPMyqKEP4htg

[EDITED]At the Baltimore Streetcar Museum‘s 60th Anniversary Gala last night, CEO Matt Nawn broke the news that two key museum properties – the Ma & Pa Freight Shed and the Roundhouse - have just been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Hooray!

This is a giant step forward towards realizing the museum’s ambitious plans to become a premier-class facility of transportation history, education and family entertainment.

During his remarks, Mr. Nawn gave a shout out to the FTJF which was represented by two of its officers. He expressed gratitude for the partnership between the BSM and the FTJF, including for our tree canopy stewardship work along the museum’s “front yard” bordering the Jones Falls stream.

One of the FTJF ex officio officers, Del. Regina, T. Boyce, commended the museum staff for its growth in visitation and volunteer staffing. She pointed up the museum as an important cultural asset of the city.

Councilman Jermaine Jones, whose District includes the BSM, also offered congratulatory remarks.

Our volunteers do amazing things! We are happy to share some recent photos of restoration work on two of our historic streetcars from very different generations.

Our dedicated volunteers continue to make progress on the stunning restoration of Baltimore Consolidated Railway Company Car 1050, which is 128-years old! Progress continues in several areas, including some recently applied exterior decoration.
Meanwhile, progress continues on our "newest" streetcar, Public Service Coordinated Transport Car 26, which is 77 years old and was last used in Newark, NJ. Much of the work is led by our volunteer Rachel, who, like Car 26, is from New Jersey. Rachel is preparing the car for new flooring installation, which we hope to complete this fall.

We are always looking for new volunteers and offer a variety of opportunities! As we celebrate 60 years as a historic and cultural resource for Baltimore and beyond, our team continues to grow. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and all backgrounds, yet they share a common passion to serve and contribute to a great cause. We invite you to consider joining us as a volunteer. Please contact us and our Volunteer Coordinator will be happy to connect you with opportunities to get involved.
