So, as mentioned in prior (and less popular) videos, the Second Industrial Revolution cannot be understated or underestimated in how profound its impact was upon society and how it transformed our nation and its economy. It totally affected commerce and shaped the future - even including events like the Civil War.

Anyway, this is a real gem of a small museum. And it's completely free (donations accepted)! There's a main museum, consisting of five rooms, the freight car with diorama and model trains, and there's also an antique caboose you can go in and explore. And they even sell sodas and water (great on a hot day), and have a great gift shop too, which supports the museum. Be sure to pay a visit next time you're in central Maryland!
