The Drum Point lighthouse was built in 1883 at Solomons, MD, just off shore on screwpiles. Eventually the Chesapeake Bay created a larger beach and the sand was up to the lighthouse.
It was decommissioned in 1962 and moved to its present location next to the Calvert Marine Museum in 1975.
The light is octagonal shaped and the first two stories are open with no walls. The third and fourth stories are living quarters and office.  The light is on the fifth floor.  The museum gives a tour of the light, taking you to the light room. The living quarters are furnished in old style furniture and the outhouse is still there.
The museum covers the boat building days of Calvert County, the agriculture and the seafood industry, and has many fossils found in the county.
