Brunswick Visitor Center Located at 40 West Potomac Street, Brunswick, MD 21716 (301-834-7100) the Brunswick Visitor Center shares the building with the Brunswick Railroad Museum. Call ahead for hours of operation. For over a century Brunswick has been a railroad town. In 1890 the B&O Railroad moved its yard here from Martinsburg. The railroad yard was a "classification yard," it was used for switching cars to different lines. The Brunswick yard was the longest yard owned by a single company, it was seven miles long. This once bustling company town is now a quiet place since the decline of the railroads. The remains of the rail yard are still visible from the canal towpath. | History | Towpath Towns | Brunswick | Cumberland | Ferry Hill | Great Falls Tavern | Georgetown | Hancock | Williamsport | The Canal Arrives at Cumberland | |
