Brunswick, Maryland is just a short drive approximately, 45 miles
from Washington D.C., the Nation's Capital. The town's roots are
rich in history with the establishment of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. In the 1890's Brunswick became the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad's major freight yard for the east-west line. Population
of the town multiplied tenfold in 1896 and thrived because of the
railroad.
When visiting Brunswick, you can stop by the Brunswick
Railroad museum to learn more about the B & O line and the
way of life of the railroaders.
In 2005, Brunswick earned
Maryland Mainstreet status. Brunswick Mainstreet
sponsors many events and activities in the historic district,
including First Fridays. Shops downtown stay open for
late evening shopping and many family activities are planned on the
first Friday of every month. Visit the
Brunswick Mainstreet website to learn more.
Brunswick offers other fun activities including camping,
biking on the C & O Canal,
or just participating in some of our local events. Every year the
annual Great Brunswick River Race
offers adventure to those who want to create their own boat and
race down the Potomac River.
In October the town hosts Railroad Days
which takes place with music, festivities and train rides.
Check out our events calendar for other
fun activities, we hope to see you soon in Brunswick.
