Exhibits & Collections

Our Museum is situated on a small campus at the mouth of Back Creek, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and is housed in the last surviving historic oyster-packing plant in Annapolis. This special setting allows us to engage visitors in an interactive experience that highlights the oyster and its role in shaping both the history and maritime culture of Annapolis. The Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park houses a collection of roughly 10,000 objects, photographs, and archival documents. To access the collections please email the assistant curator or call 410-295-0104, ext. 19.
