Most of the collection date from the early 1890s, but it also have some materials relating to the earlier agricultural settlement.</text>

              <text>The City of Bowie Museums include the Belair Mansion (1745) and Stable (1907), the Bowie Railroad Museum (1870-1910), and the Old Town Welcome Center (1929). We also work cooperatively with both the National Capital Radio and Television Museum and the Prince George’s Genealogical Library. Bowie’s history is a microcosm of American history. Our sites interpret over 250 years – from Bowie’s 18th century days as “Collington Hundred,” through the bustling railroad development of the 19th century in Huntington, to the 20th and 21st century with the development of Belair-at-Bowie and the continued growth of the community today.</text>

Built circa 1745 for Provincial Governor Samuel Ogle and his wife, Anne Tasker Ogle, the Mansion later became one of the homes of William Woodward, noted American horseman of the 20th century. Enlarged by Woodward in 1914, the Mansion today reflects its 250-year use as a residence. Currently, the Mansion interprets the lives of residents from 1747 to 1950. Today, the Mansion interprets the lives of residents from 1747-1950. The museum collection contains a wide array of objects, including: a magnificent Colonial Revival card table owned by William Woodward; a table made by Annapolis craftsman John Shaw; an 18th century portrait of Col. Benjamin Tasker by artist John Wollaston; Ogle Family silver; Paintings of “The Seasons,” given to Samuel Ogle by Maryland’s Proprietor, Lord Baltimore; Woodward’s privately issued prints of a number of Belair Stud’s famous Thoroughbred racehorses.</text>

Belair was home to Gallant Fox (1930) and Omaha (1935) – the only father/son horses to capture Thoroughbred racing’s famous Triple Crown Series. In 1955, Belair’s Nashua, an incomparable champion, was Horse of the Year. Other champions, including Johnstown, Fighting Fox, and Vagrancy also called Belair home. Today’s Stable Museum highlights the accomplishments of Belair’s bloodstock over a 200-year racing legacy. It also features Belair’s other agricultural uses and contains a restored 1923 Stablemaster’s living quarters.</text>

In 1872, the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad opened the Bowie Station. Developer Ben M. Plumb seized that opportunity and developed “Huntington City” around that railroad station. Shops, hotels, and comfortable Victorian houses filled the tree-lined streets of Huntington City, renamed “Bowie” in 1880 to honor Governor Oden Bowie, who was instrumental in bring the railroad here. The station remained a busy stop until 1989, when it closed to make way for a new station at Bowie State University. The City of Bowie, in recognition of the station’s important role in its history, restored the buildings in the early 1990’s.</text>

              <text>Opened to the public as a historic house museum in 1988, Darnall’s Chance House Museum is dedicated to the interpretation and study of the history and culture of 18th century Prince George's County, Maryland, with special emphasis on the lives of mid-18th century women. The Museum seeks to interpret the story of Lettice Lee, who lived at Darnall's Chance in the decades just prior to the American Revolution. The house and grounds reflect 1760, the year Lettice Lee’s first husband died and a room by room inventory was taken of the contents of the house. Darnall’s Chance House Museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The National Underground Railroad: Network to Freedom Trail, and the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail.</text>
