Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum

I have lived, sailed, kayaked, and fished at many different points on the Chesapeake Bay and visit the area frequently, and I find this site a welcome addition to Chesapeake Bay information. The information found here is up to date and meaningful for anyone wishing to visit the Bay area or travel the John Smith Chesapeake Trail by water or land. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels is stop that should not be missed. There are many events held at the museum and everything is family friendly, including a world-class gift shop. It would take a lifetime to visit all of the Chesapeake on both shores and a lot would still be missed for there is much to it. To those who would wish to explore the Bay I would advise them to get started now. This Chesapeake Bay Museum site is as good as its ever going to get and a great place to learn more about the area.
