As early as 1966, the lighthouse was offered to the Society, however, this not being practical, the mention of a museum depicting marine life generated much interest and a feasibility study was conducted. By 1970, a request was made to the Calvert County Commissioners to permit the use of the Old Solomons Schoolhouse as a museum. The first curator of the marine museum was appointed in 1974 and after incessant communication by the Society with the General Services Administration, Department of Interior and others, Drum Point Lighthouse was finally moved to the museum grounds in 1975, where it sits today. The museum and rail cars contribute significantly to the understanding of the resort area of Calvert County and attract many visitors to the Chesapeake Beach area annually.
