On display at the jail is the mysterious Moll Dyer rock which, as legend has it, bears her hand print. . . . . In addition to exhibits featuring artifacts and antique furniture, also on display is a cannon from the Ark, the passenger ship that with the supply ship, the Dove, sailed the stormy Atlantic from The Isle of Wight bringing the first colonists safely to Maryland's shores in 1634. This cannon, sitting proudly in front of The Old Jail, defended Maryland's first capital, St. Mary's City, for many years. . . . . To see the cannon and other fascinating treasures from Maryland's wonderful past, come visit our Museum soon. The museum's hours are the same as our buisness office.
Admission is free .
For group tours, please call our Buisness Office a week in advance.
