Getting There
The museum is across the Spa Creek bridge in Eastport, a 15-minute walk from City Dock.

Why Go

Built in 1875, it's the last screwpile cottage lighthouse in the Chesapeake still in its original spot, and a symbol of Maryland. Tours leave from the Annapolis Maritime Museum in Eastport, which tells the story of the bay's oystermen.
