Baltimore merchants losing trade to the Erie Canal chartered the first common-carrier railroad in America and laid the first stone in 1828. Peter Cooper's Tom Thumb famously lost a race to a horse here, and the roundhouse now holds the oldest railroad collection in the country.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
