Wonderful people, interesting service, great sense of community and peace. Some of the comments during the services I have attended have really stayed with me, it's the wisdom of the massess kind of thing. Visit if you can and be sure to stay for coffee and cookies after the meeting Lots of history too, I think it's the oldest meeting house around.

Note: Full access to the lighthouse is limited due to COVID-19. Please visit welcome.cbmm.org for details. Ascend the steps of the Hooper Strait Lighthouse and travel back in time to learn how 19th century lighthouse keepers tended their station in the middle of the Bay. Through this hands-on exhibit, visitors can climb the sea hatch, tend the huge lens, or stand watch on the lookout for ships or fog, experiencing firsthand the solitary, often heroic lives of Hooper Strait lighthouse keepers. The 1879 Hooper Strait Lighthouse, now standing on Navy Point, was originally built in 1879 to light the way for boats passing through the shallow, dangerous shoals of Hooper Strait, a thoroughfare for boats bound from the Chesapeake Bay across Tangier Sound to Deal Island or places along the Nanticoke and Wicomico Rivers. As a “screwpile” lighthouse, it is built on special iron pilings which were tipped with a screw that could be turned into the muddy bottom for a depth of 10 feet or more.

Very eye opening exhibit (on the grounds of the CBMM). This particular screw-pile lighthouse was 2 miles off shore when it was in use. Had no idea of the arduous life of watermen.
