Bowie Railroad Museum honors the once busy train depot that was an integral part of the development of Huntington City, renamed Bowie in 1880 to recognize Governor Oden Bowie for his role in bringing the railroad to the area. The train station opened in1872 when the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad was built to connect Baltimore to Southern Maryland. City developer Ben M. Plumb set out to create a bustling city surrounding the station with stores, hotels, and beautiful Victorian homes. The station continued to be a major stop up until 1989 when it was replaced by the station at Bowie State University.
