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.
