Ma & Pa Railroad Heritage Village
Preserved railroad community from the steam-engine era
Journey back to the days when the steam train was the only link between rural and urban America in this wonderfully preserved example of life in a typical country railroad village. The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad, affectionately known as the Ma & Pa, connected Baltimore and York on a narrow-gauge line that traced a meandering, scenic 77-mile route. The village at Muddy Creek Forks sits along the railroad line. It is being preserved as an example of a typical railroad community in the steam-engine era. A project of the Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad Preservation Authority, it depicts what it was like to live in the ‘Forks’ in 1915, including several original buildings. Work continues on restoring additional buildings at the site.
