Recognized as a top cultural site by the Maryland Department of Tourism, this free museum contains several rare historical artifacts from the surfing world collected by surfing legend Bruce Gabrielson over a 60 year period. Displays include Dale Velzey's original 1950's templates and planer, an original Makaha Skateboard, the first day edition of the Duke Stamp from both Huntington Beach and Waikiki, signed posters from numerous surfing legends, a signed poster from the Wooden Year's exhibit opening at the International Surfing Museum, a set of Rick Griffin drawings, plus paintings and photos from artists and surf photographers from the East and West Coast. Several antique boards are also on display. The museum requires reservations and is located in the offices of the National Surf Schools and Instructors Association. During the summer months the museum is closed when the surf is good.
Bruce Gabrielson is a living surfing legend. It is a unique experience to have Bruce deliver a personal tour of the museum, as he knows the personalities and backstories involved with every item. This is definitely worth your time!

The American Chestnut Land Trust (ACLT) is a non-profit land preservation area and organization in Calvert Co., Maryland, an hour drive from both D.C. and Baltimore, featuring the 3,400 acre "Parkers Creek Preserve". ACLT offers 22 miles of trails (free!), guided canoe/kayak trips up the beautiful creek, and tons of events and activities celebrating this beautiful region and the Chesapeake Bay. Dedicated to caring for the land, ACLT also manages a small farm, educational garden and food forest all focused on regenerative and perma-culture growing systems. 75% of the harvest - more then 7,000 lbs in 2017 - is donated to a local food pantry. There are so many ways to get involved with caring for the land and sharing it with the community!
Stopped at the ACLT south trail heads to get one last hike in before we headed back home after our three day stay in area. The trails are quiet, well marked and are dog friendly.There is a port o pot available in parking area as well as trail maps.If we return to the area we would come back to the ACLT to hike more trails.

This combination museum and state park includes more than 70 archaeological sites from the prehistoric period 9,000 years ago through the Colonial period.
This is a great place for a picnic lunch or for a long walk or watch the sunset. Wigwams are very cool to see. We didn’t go in the museum, Just walked about 3 miles in the park. Great water views! There’s a few picnic tables or you could bring your own chairs and blankets. Easy walk/hike.

A group of friends all purchased tickets to see a movie on Running Hare's big screen. The cost was $25/car and you could use your radio to hear the movie but I thought their speakers did a great job. Food, wine, wine slushies, beer, and popcorn were available for purchase. We enjoyed the pizza and there were two flavors of wine slushies in two sizes. They accept credit cards. There are porta-johns with hand sanitizer. You might consider bringing hand wipes, lawn chairs, and snacks. You can be "together" with friends and still social distance. Sign up for notifications with Running Hare to be notified of the movies they are showing for given dates.

Nice easy trail for all ages and dogs as well. At one point it forks, both trails dead end, so you need to double back.There are benches along the way if you want to sit and take in the views.It is a little difficult to find. Park in the Tot Lot, if facing the playground turn around,you will see a white fence,go down steps so you are on the other side of fence and turn right.After a few minutes you will see the sign for trail and boardwalk.

Very informative sales person, generous portions to taste, let us split the tasting bc I prefer white and my husband prefers red. Wonderful to sit outside and have a glass afterwards and watch the water and sun over the bridge.
