Guided Tour: Oystering on the Chesapeake

Public guided tours are offered most weekends and holiday Mondays. All tours require admission and begin at CBMM’s Welcome Center. Advance reservations are recommended. Public tours and general admission are free for CBMM members, who can use the member link below to make their reservations.

In this Oystering on the Chesapeake Guided Tour, explore the history of the greatest oyster factory on Earth—the Chesapeake Bay—and how the oyster has shaped the culture, industry, and environment. Climb aboard a skipjack and explore giant oyster shells to learn about a time when oysters lay thick as stones, tales of the Oyster Wars and an oyster “gold rush.” This tour requires a moderate amount of walking (approximately 1/4 mile) across uneven surfaces including gravel and boardwalk. 

CBMM members become a part of the Chesapeake story and join our mission to preserve and explore the history, environment, and culture of the entire Chesapeake Bay region. Not a member yet? Join today!
