CBMM's largest permanent exhibit, At Play on the Bay, explores one of the most dramatic aspects of the Chesapeake Bay’s twentieth-century history— its shift over the last 100 years from a place of work to a place where people now come to play. Today millions of men, women, and children visit the Chesapeake Bay to enjoy boating, fishing, and on-shore activities. Learn about the Bay’s unique recreational story through its restored boats, as well as over 400 historical artifacts, photographs, and memorable video footage. CBMM’s two-story exhibition building offers guests extensive views of the surrounding landscape, and a rooftop deck offering new perspectives of the Miles River, St. Michaels Harbor, and Fogg's Cove
