TV Review: Doctor Who: Dragonfire (1987).Movie Review: The Seventh Victim (1943).We found another geocache, Huntington Depot, that was located in between the railroad museum and the visitors' center, which isn't a lot of space so it was easy to find.Īfter all that adventure, we headed home for lunch. As much as we love libraries, this one would probably not be interesting to the kids. The tower is now home to the National Railroad Historical Society’s Martin O’Rourke Railroad Research Library. It does provide nice shade on a hot day or cover from a downpour. They also preserved the waiting area from the train station though it now faces away from the tracks. The camera wasn't fast enough to catch any. The rails still run right by the museum and we did see several trains go by on their regular schedule. Out back of the station is an old caboose, where the train's engineer and staff lived during the rail trips. The railroad used a level system to ensure train traffic would run smoothly, switching trains to different tracks to avoid collisions. The museum has a train set and many displays on the history of the railway in Bowie. The kids enjoyed some more old-time technology, including a typewriter, another old phone, and a telegraph device. The station was in service till 1989 when a new stop was opened nearby at Bowie State University. The town was renamed "Bowie" in 1880 to honor Governor Oden Bowie who helped develop the railroad. A town with shops and Victorian homes called Huntington City sprang up in 1872 thanks to developer Ben Plumb. After the American Civil War, plans went forward to build a rail line into southern Maryland with a stop here. The railroad museum includes a station and tower. I don't know if the corded phone with a dial was more interesting or the even older wall phone with a headset and mouthpiece. My youngest enjoyed the old-time communication devices on display. The lady there had a key and she unlocked the railroad museum after we enjoyed the exhibits at the visitor center. We went next door to the welcome center which was open. We arrived just after ten and discovered the museum was still locked. We lit a candle for a recently deceased relative and then headed off to the railroad museum. We had a brief tour and were impressed with the interior. People were still inside straightening up.
He came and unlocked a side door (the 9 a.m. We saw a priest on the porch of the rectory next to the church and asked if we could make a visit. We tried to go in the front doors (which were obviously replaced recently). The church is in the typical cruciform style with a spire in the front. This particular park is dedicated to veterans and features an artillery piece.Īcross the street is Ascension Catholic Church. This cache was our first find in the series.

The geocache, Centennial 12, is part of a series of caches in Bowie to celebrate its centennial (2016 was the hundred-year anniversary of the city charter). before the museum opened at 10) we found a geocache near Ascension Church, which we also visited. As a quick summer outing, we went to the old town area of Bowie which features a visitor's center and the Bowie Railroad Museum.
