The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD has expanded its summer hours from 9am to 6pm, 7 days a week, and is offering a wide variety of new, daily activities for visitors now through Labor Day.

With paid admission, museum visitors can enjoy public tours, docent interpretations, interactions with authentic Chesapeake people, family drop-in activities, boat yard demonstrations, sailing on Saturdays, and scenic river cruises aboard the museum’s replica buyboat, Mister Jim. Also new this year is the Community Work Days program held each Saturday, where the public gets involved in restoring the skipjack Rosie Parks under the guidance of the museum’s master shipwrights and professional apprentices.

The museum also offers hands-on exhibits throughout its 18-acre waterfront campus. General admission is $13 for adults, $10 for seniors, $6 for kids ages 6-17 and free for museum members and kids under age six. Visit www.cbmm.org for a complete schedule of events, or call 410-745-2916.
