Drum Point Lighthouse dominates the museum's waterfront. This screwpile, cottage-type light is only one of three remaining from forty-five that once served the Chesapeake Bay at the beginning of the twentieth century.
One of our most popular exhibits is the River Otter Habitat. Enjoy watching our playful otters, Bubbles and Squeak swimming, chasing each other, or romping through the sand. Otters abound in the tidal creeks and rivers of the Chesapeake Bay.
Our permanent paleontology collection consists of over 40,000 cataloged specimens ranging in age from 6-18 million years.
There is always something special going on at the Calvert Marine Museum. Special programs for all ages, from our Sea Squirts for toddlers, to Road Scholar programs for seniors, and the Waterside Concerts bring in big name performers.
