Website Calvert Marine Museum Society, Inc.

The Maritime History Gallery at CMM spans over four centuries of Southern Maryland history from pre-European contact to post-World War II engagement in roughly chronological order. While the content is interesting, it does not accurately reflect all histories that formed the communities of Southern Maryland. Through a series of public sessions led by a professional exhibit consultant, we plan to evaluate the existing displays and speak with stakeholders about their areas of interest within the Maritime History Gallery.  The final product will be an interpretive plan detailing the analysis of public input guiding museum curators to focus on areas of interest reported from colleagues and the public. This plan will be the launching point for Phase II of the project which will include design and implementation of physical changes intended to transform this exhibit space into an engaging and authentic visitor experience highlighting multiple perspectives of maritime-related life in southern Maryland.
