We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
Visitors to the Jonathan Hager House Museum can take part in special German Easter Tours scheduled for April 11, 12, 18, and 19. These tours, offered at 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m., highlight Hagerstown’s colonial roots and German heritage. Starting April 25, the museum will offer hourly tours on a walk-in basis from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the final tour beginning at 3 p.m. The Hager House, located at 110 Key Street, remains open to the public during ongoing renovations to its Visitor Center.
At the City Park Train Hub, located at 770 City Park Drive, guests can explore a historical railroad experience centered around Locomotive Engine 202 and a retired caboose. The Railroad Museum, also part of the hub, will be accessible during standard open hours, no appointment required. Both sites charge standard admission fees, with more information available online.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
In addition to regular weekend hours, private tours of both the Train Hub and Hager House can be arranged with at least 48 hours’ notice. Those interested in scheduling a private visit or renting the Train Hub Pavilion for events are encouraged to contact Hagerstown Parks & Recreation by phone or email. These attractions aim to provide both residents and visitors with engaging insights into the area’s history throughout the spring, summer, and fall months.
