Celebrating 50 Years on the Bay - Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum 1965-2015
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is a world-class museum, and the only museum in the world dedicated to offering an authentic experience of exploring the history, environment, and people of the Chesapeake Bay.
The Museum was established in 1965, beginning in the historic Higgins, Dodson, and Eagle Houses along St. Michaels’ harbor, which now serve as the Museum’s administrative buildings. Since then, CBMM has expanded to over 18 waterfront acres and 12 exhibition buildings, including the historic 1879 Hooper Strait Lighthouse and Small Boat Shed. The Museum also exhibits and maintains the largest collection of Chesapeake Bay watercraft in the world. More information online at cbmm.org
