Historic St. Mary's City

The mission of the Historic St. Mary's City Commission is to preserve and protect the archaeological and historical record of Maryland's first colonial capital, and to appropriately develop and use this historic and scenic site for the education, enjoyment, and general benefit of the public. Historic St. Mary's City is an outdoor, living-history museum at which the general public can learn about what life was like at Maryland's colonial capital (1634-1695). At the museum, one can learn about what life was like aboard a sea going vessel by boarding our ship, the "Maryland Dove." People can also learn about the lives of the Yaocomaco Indians, who lived in this area when the colonists arrived in 1634. One can also learn what life was like on a tobacco plantation in year 1661 and what type of accommodations would have been available for a person traveling to Maryland's colonial capital to conduct business at the State House in the 1600s. Historical & costumed interpreters are available during the museum's open hours to greet and inform visitors. Our museum also sees approximately 30,000 school children every year.
