Drum Point Lighthouse

Restored Chesapeake screwpile lighthouse on the Calvert Marine Museum waterfront

Drum Point Lighthouse is a restored screwpile cottage lighthouse, moved from the Patuxent River mouth to the Calvert Marine Museum waterfront. It is one of the Chesapeake structures that instantly explains the bay's older navigation world: shallow water, shifting channels, and keepers living above the waves.

Access is usually tied to museum admission and conditions. Check the museum before you go, since restoration work or events can affect entry.
