Nestled in the heart of the park, are these seven fantastic museums, offering visitors a chance to step back in time. You can explore a blacksmith shop, a tool museum, a tobacco farming museum, a log cabin complete with a chicken coop and meat house, a farrier and tack shop, and a 1923 Sears catalog house. It's a wonderful spot to learn about southern Maryland's history and take some memorable photos.
