The Gaithersburg Railroad Station was a major rail complex at the time it was built in 1884, and in 1978, its buildings were placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today it still serves as a central focus in the City’s Olde Towne district.

History Park is nestled between the Train Station and Freight House and features plaques with historical photographs and information on the City’s history and development. Plantings in the park include some of the original peonies from the Schwartz family garden. The Schwartz family once owned the home that now serves as our City Hall.
