The Annapolis Maritime Museum seeks to connect our local youth and adults to the richness of the maritime heritage of the Annapolis area. The Museum operates from a waterside campus on the shores of Back Creek, 
with unequaled views of Annapolis Harbor and the Chesapeake Bay. The Museum campus is the site of the last remaining oyster packing plant in the area, the McNasby's Oyster Packing Company plant. Since the McNasby building was severely damaged by Hurricane Isabel in 2003, the Museum's Board of Directors, staff and dedicated volunteers have been working to raise funds to restore the building to create the Bay Experience Center -- an interactive facility like no other.
In the four years since the hurricane, Museum activities have continued and grown through sheer determination. The other campus building, the 650 square-foot Barge House, was restored after the hurricane 
through volunteer efforts and in-kind donations and is the Museum's "one-room schoolhouse," hosting meetings, lectures, concerts, and children's activities. The Barge House is also the launching point for the Museum's tours to the iconic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse -- the most famous symbol of the upper Chesapeake Bay.
With a great deal of community support, the Museum has continued to do great things -- full steam ahead! We have accomplished much and there are big plans in the offing. Join us. Participate in history and in keeping history alive.
