Calvert Marine Museum

Nestled in the riverfront town of Solomons, Maryland, the Calvert Marine Museum delves into the regional paleontology, estuarine life, and maritime history of the Chesapeake Bay area. Visitors can explore an outdoor habitat featuring coastal species like skates, otters, and rays. The museum’s main highlight is the historic Drum Point Lighthouse, a screwpile, cottage-type structure that stands as one of only three remaining from the original 45 lighthouses that once guided ships through the bay. Today, guests can experience these exhibits and gain insight into the rich natural and cultural heritage of the region.
