B & O Railroad Museum Roundhouse Roof Collapse Twenty Years Later

Susan, Zeke and I visited the B & O Museum in 1999. Somehow, we missed this catastrophe when it happened. The restoration is remarkable.

  1. I could not even begin to figure out how long ago it was when we visited the roundhouse.

    I'm surprised that we had not heard about the collapse in the Philly news of the time.

  2. That was our last family trip with Zeke. We went to Gettysburg, Antietam, D.C., Fort McHenry at Baltimore. He graduated high school in 2000, and family fun trips went away.

  3. I'm fairly confident that we visited Fort McHenry in conjunction with the visit to the roundhouse.
    We visited Antietam and the Museum of Civil War Medicine on a different trip.

    (This might be a double comment as verification was having some kind of hissy fit.)
