The Garrett Railroad Museum has many relics, curios, photographs, and railroad items that tell the story of Garrett’s rich history. It is awesome and in the basement is an HO scale model railroad layout! It has bridges, tunnels, buildings and real working model trains! Outside the museum are actual railroad cars! A real Post Office car and a real Chesapeake & Ohio caboose. The Garrett Railroad Museum is the former Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Freight Station.
