St. Michaels, Maryland City Guide

Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum

Every year over 100,000 visitors to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum get a first-hand taste of St. Michaels’s history. Situated on an 18acre waterfront site, the museum houses nine exhibit buildings with an impressive collection of Chesapeake Bay artifacts, naval history, and the rare opportunity to talk to “real” people whose ancestors helped create their history and who still participate in the local maritime trade, like decoy carving, boat building and oyster shucking. The museum also has a lighthouse, the world’s largest collection of bay boats and a working boatyard where the staff interacts with visitors and explains how they restore and preserve the fleet of bay boats.
You can even join the “Apprentice For a Day’ program and actually help build a boat with your own hands.
