The Choptank River Lighthouse, located in Cambridge, MD, is a faithful replica of a historic beacon that guided vessels along the Choptank River. Managed by the nonprofit Cambridge Lighthouse Foundation, this waterfront attraction houses a small museum celebrating the rich maritime heritage of Dorchester County.

Visitors can explore the lighthouse, which is open daily from May 1 to October 31, and learn about the area's maritime history. Donations are appreciated, and the foundation also offers opportunities to volunteer, rent the lighthouse for special events, and support their work through the purchase of gifts and keepsakes.
