The Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons

After our stay in Washington we did not think another museum would catch our fancy but a visit to this lighthouse and museum that was just across the creek from us was impossible to resist. It was geared towards young people and just the right thing for our intellectual level after the heavy stuff in DC. The Drum Point Lighthouse had been moved to this location and a fairly large museum built to support it. The Calvert Cliffs are right around the corner here on the Chesapeake and produces a lot of sharks teeth and bones from the past. They had a collection of ski/fishing boats from the 1940’s. A lot of kids were there building wooden boats (like the soapbox derby cars) and sailing/racing remote control sailboats. Pretty cool plus it had live otters.
