This museum, on the waterfront at the Somers Cove
Marina, traces the history of the Lower Shore with exhibits on
the beginnings of the Chesapeake Bay, the influence of the
Native Americans on the early colonists, seafood harvesting and
processing, the history of Crisfield and the evolution of that
truly American art form - decoy carving and painting.
The museum also has exhibits on prominent
Crisfielders to include the late Governor J. Millard Tawes.
The Visitor's Center is located in this
Museum.
This museum is the starting place for the The Port of
Crisfield Tour (walking tour) takes a patron through the port area of the
city. One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to a
modern crab and oyster processing facility where one can see
first hand how the products of the Chesapeake are made ready for
market.
