Today, its historic buildings are in a state of disrepair, but are not threatened by new development. Michael Cresap's house is now a museum. The old stone house on Main Street was the home of Michael Cresap, son of Thomas, who moved in with his wife in 1764. Captain Cresap met here with volunteers before their march to Boston to fight the British. There was a jail in the basement-its windows still have bars.
Special tours are available at other times by appointment.
The bridge was closed due to structural problems, but may be repaired. Michael Cresap Museum, Main Street, Oldtown, MD 21555.
