Join us inside the National Road Museum in Boonsboro, MD. You might ask, “How is this connected to Baltimore?” Well if you have ever walked along Lombard St near Eutaw St, that’s the same National Road! We are thrilled to be joined by Reuben Moss, Executive Director of the National Road Museum, to share with us how this road became the first federally-funded highway in America, and the first place where paving was tested. Thanks for watching and see you soon with another video.
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
