Living history and archaeology on the site of Maryland's first capital.
History is hands-on at HSMC, a museum on the site of Maryland’s first capital and one of America's most beautiful historic places. Visitors can step onboard a tall ship, explore an un-ordinary ordinary, discover the world of the Yaocomaco Indians, help a colonial planter tend his fields, and learn how researchers reconstruct the past using historical and archaeological evidence. HSMC is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10-4.
"Historic St. Mary's City is an outdoor museum of living history and archaeology, telling the diverse stories of the people of Maryland's first capital."
