St. Clement’s Island Museum Project

under construction

The project involves constructing a new two-story, 9,450-square-foot museum facility on the existing footprint at St. Clement’s Island, Colton’s Point, Maryland. The new building will feature a children’s activity room, a formal conference room, redesigned exhibit spaces including Piscataway Nation perspectives, and a Smithsonian-developed exhibit on Maryland’s founding. The design includes a lighthouse-inspired circular staircase, an elevator for accessibility, native-plant landscaping, and reinstallation of the First Landing mural. The project aims to enhance historical education and community engagement, with construction starting in September 2025 and expected completion in December 2026.
