5 stars all ‘round Dawn and Anne at the front desk are extremely nice, professional, and helpful with your membership. The dock master Josh is the most hardworking, experienced, and trustworthy dock master you could wish for to help you with your boat. Captain Ed of the skipjack oyster educational sail along with his first mate Caden are the most fun and knowledgeable historian sailors you could find on vacation.

Beautiful tourist town located across the bay from Annapolis, MD. There is Family Entertainment such as boat cruises & a maritime museum with a lighthouse. For the adults there are wineries and the shops along Talbot St are endless.

This is a great museum for the whole family (all 3 generations really enjoyed it). There are plenty of hands on activities and exhibits to keep the kids interested, and lots of fun facts that keep the historical info from being too dry. Staff and volunteers are knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend!

How long does it take to go through the museum? Thank you.

It really just depends in how much time you have. You could probably end up spending the whole day there and be actively doing things the entire time. There isnt a definite answer to this question. You should probably spend at least an hour and a half to two hours to get a really good and memorable experience.
