The Cambridge Lighthouse Foundation promotes the lighthouse and seeks to enhance the experiences it offers to visitors. Inside, a small museum features exhibits of the maritime heritage of Dorchester County and the Eastern Shore. The beautiful replica lighthouse offers visitors views of historic Cambridge and the Choptank River. The Choptank River Lighthouse, located at the waterfront in Cambridge, MD, was constructed in 2012 as a replica of a previous screwpile style Choptank River lighthouse, which was destroyed by ice flows in 1918.

The Annapolis Maritime Museum plans to resume a schedule of lighthouse tours once Covid restrictions are lifted. The station’s well-preserved hexagonal cottage-capped by a copper roof, painted red-is a popular subject for photographers. This lighthouse, constructed in 1875, is the last screwpile style lighthouse still standing in its original location. The beloved and iconic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse is located near Annapolis, about four miles southeast of the mouth of the Severn River.

In 2006, this lighthouse was sold to four couples and is now privately owned by BHL, LLC. Although it is now solar powered, in 1964 it became the first lighthouse to be powered by nuclear energy. The last lighthouse constructed on the Bay, it is an octagonal brick structure constructed originally wth a living area on the first floor, two bedrooms on the second floor, and a watch level and light on the third floor. The Baltimore Harbor Light proudly stands just north of the mouth of the Magothy River. The museum and light are generally open to the public on weekends from April through October. The property anchors one end of Havre de Grace’s beautiful waterfront promenade. The Keeper’s House Museum features educational and interesting exhibits about the history of this landmark, which is located at the corner of Concord and Lafayette Streets. The tower dates to 1825, making it one of the oldest publicly accessible lighthouses on the Bay. The stately white Concord Point Light overlooks the area in which the Susquehanna River flows into the Chesapeake Bay.
