For more than 350 years the Chesapeake Bay has played a significant role in the building of America, and today it is still one of our nation's greatest natural resources. Located in the historic town of St. Michaels on Maryland's Eastern Shore, It has grown to occupy nine exhibit buildings on 18 waterfront acres. The growth and success of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum can be traced to one single major source - its members.
Members receive free admission, special discounts, and free subscriptions.
You too can be an active part of the Museum - a living, growing institution. Because the Museum receives no regular operation funds from federal, state or local governments, your support is the only way we continue to keep our promise to educate, exhibit and preserve.
