This is a small local museum. There are many interesting replicas and homage to all watermen. I really enjoyed it because growing up with a dad for a boatman made me appreciate all things on the water. Worth it if you like encouraging local history.

This museum is VERY small but more significantly it is poorly organized. Half the museum deals with the native population and models. The pictures and artifacts would be much more interesting if there was someone to explain their significance. Save the four dollars.

Best known in the past for their aiding of the French and the Americans during the Revolutionary War, watermen are often credited as a key part of the decisive...

This museum is located in a beautiful Colonial Revival home that was floated across the York River. The museum tells the story of the Chesapeake wooden boats and the fishermen who made the most of the water's bounty. There are marvelous exhibits on the mechanics of fishing and the tools of the trade. At this small museum, you can receive personalized attention. The house itself is incredible —...

The preservation of the heritage of the Watermen of the Chesapeake Bay is the mission of this museum that interprets their culture and their contributions to the region through exhibits and educational opportunities.
