Not long after the Civil War, the Queen Anne's and Kent Railroad reached Sudlersville and ushered in a period of growth. By 1869, it provided transportation for people living in and around the town and offered a faster way to get grains and produce to market. By the time a new passenger station was built in 1885, Sudlersville had already doubled in size from 15 to 39 homes. The train station remains on its original site. The historic building was purchased in 1987 and restored by the Sudlersville Community Betterment Club. Today it houses Jimmy Foxx memorabilia and exhibits highlighting Sudlersville's history.
