Spend the day in the waterfront village of Galesville on Maryland’s West River, where four centuries of Chesapeake Bay culture come alive. Tour the century-old Hartge Yacht Yard, explore the Galesville Heritage Museum and its story of a Revolutionary War–era shipyard, and enjoy family-friendly activities at the West River Sailing Club with the iconic Chesapeake 20 sailboats on display. Watch a parade of classic and antique boats—or hop aboard a narrated boat tour—then meet local authors, learn about historic fishing techniques and the waterman’s trade, shop our farmers market, and enjoy lunch by the water at a local restaurant or visiting food truck. Top it all off with live music throughout the day. Admission is free; donations are encouraged..
