In the Exhibition Building, you can touch 20-million year old fossils taken from Calvert Cliffs; discover the ever changing world of the Chesapeake Bay; and learn how humans shaped and changed this region over time, working its waters for survival and profit. Visit the Drum Point and Cove Point Lighthouses; see our outstanding small boat collection, take a ride on the Wm. B. Tennison, a log-built bugeye, and experience the Lore Oyster House, a restored oyster processing plant. Touch a horseshoe crab or Diamond Back Terrapin, see skates, rays, and small sharks cavort, and watch otters, Bubbles and Squeak, at play. Stroll the marsh walk and spy water snakes, great blue heron, osprey, and hermit crabs in their natural environment. We are a community museum, established in 1970 by local residents determined to preserve the maritime heritage of Solomons Island. We are an educational museum, offering everything from the pre-school programs to Elderhostel. We are a research museum, renowned for documented discoveries in Miocene paleontology, and publications on local history based on original research. We are a relevant museum, staying in the forefront of environmental issues and offering a forum for public discourse on controversial topics. We are a partnering museum, actively pursuing opportunities such as the 1812 Grand Tactical that allows us to support and celebrate other institutions. Visit the Museum Store for jewelry, books, home decor, toys and all kinds of unique gifts for people of all ages!

My husband and I visited the museum during our stay on Solomon's Island and enjoyed our time there. Lots of great displays and enjoyed experiencing the fish and otters. We liked it so much we returned with our son later in the week. On our second visit we arrived in time for the last lighthouse tour . This is a great place for children - there is a separate kids area where they can do many different hands-on activities. Our son enjoyed seeing the jelly fish and watching the otters eat dinner.

I wanted a unique in-state getaway for our anniversary and this place did not disappoint. We had the duplex cottage to ourselves. The entire area around the lighthouse to ourselves as they are closed for the season. The cottage is well appointed, very comfortable, the decor is interesting and ties into this area superbly. You can sit in the house and listen to the crashing of the waves and just feel the stress leave your body. Definitely coming back here.
