Description

This is one of the many souvenirs visitors could have obtained from the B&O Railroad’s 100th Birthday Party: The Fair of the Iron Horse. The fair, held outside of Baltimore, MD, celebrated the B&O and the 100 years of railroading in America that followed its charter in 1827. Thousands visited the festival over the year, and railroads from across the continent brought their own locomotives and exhibits to celebrate.
