McNasby's Reopened with a Grand Rededication on December 1

 

The Annapolis Maritime Museum seeks to connect the richness of the maritime heritage of the Annapolis area with our local youth and adults.The Museum operates from a waterside campus on the shores of Back Creek, kids learning about oysterswith 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. Since the McNasby building was severely damaged by Hurricane Isabel in 2003, the Museum's Board of Directors, staff and dedicated volunteers have worked to raise funds to restore the building to create the Bay Experience Center -- an interactive facility like no other.

The other campus building, the 650 square-foot Barge House, was restored after the hurricane friends of ammthrough 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.
