Southern Maryland Arts & Culture
Calvert Marine Museum
|
Located in beautiful Solomons Island, Maryland, the Calvert Marine Museum is open daily from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Visitors explore and learn how our prehistoric past, natural environments, and maritime heritage come together to tell a unique story of the Chesapeake Bay.
Come touch twenty-million-year-old fossils taken from Calvert Cliffs; discover where fresh and salt water meet in our fifteen-tank “Estuarium;” tour the Drum Point Lighthouse; or take a ride aboard the Wm. B. Tennison, a 110 year-old log-built bugeye. See skates and rays swim; touch a horseshoe crab or diamondback terrapin, and watch otters at play. Stroll the marsh walk and spy water snakes, great blue heron, osprey, and hermit crabs in their natural environment. Shop in the museum store for gifts that will delight visitors of all ages!
