LEONARDTOWN - - St. Clement’s Island Museum in Colton’s Point, Piney Point Lighthouse Museum in Piney Point, and the Old Jail Museum in Leonardtown are now operating under summer hours. The three museums will be open daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The St. Clement’s Island Water Taxi, which operates from St. Clement’s Island Museum to St. Clements Island State Park, will be available daily starting March 25, 2022. Interested guests should always call the museum at 301-769-2222 before visiting to check on water taxi operations, as adverse weather or other extenuating circumstances may prevent the boat from operating.
“We are extremely pleased to reopen the water taxi for a full season of cruising to the island,” says Karen Stone, Manager of the St. Mary’s County Museum Division. “Being one of our most popular attractions for locals and out-of-town visitors alike, the water taxi allows guests a rare opportunity to and enjoy one of St. Mary’s County’s best assets – our beautiful waters!”
At Piney Point Lighthouse Museum, the lighthouse, various museum buildings and sweeping vistas of the Potomac await visitors at the museum and historic park. For more information, guests can call 301-994-1471.
