The Mount Vernon Cultural Walk is created by The Baltimore National Heritage Area (BNHA), which promotes, preserves, and enhances Baltimore's historic and cultural legacy and natural resources for current and future generations.

Its construction was a series of firsts: from the first railroad station (current site of the B&O Museum) to the first railroad to cross the Appalachian Mountains and reach the Ohio River. The B&O turned Baltimore into a leading commercial center, as businesses sent goods west and brought raw materials back to feed growing industries.
