Drum Point Light, Nineteenth century lighthouse at Calvert Marine Museum, United States.
The hexagonal white cottage structure stands on iron pilings with a metal roof painted in sienna red at the Calvert Marine Museum.
The lighthouse began operations on August 20, 1883, with Benjamin Gray as the first keeper, guiding vessels near the Patuxent River entrance.
The preserved logbooks from 1883 to 1943 document maritime events, keeper duties, and daily life patterns at this Chesapeake Bay station.
The structure remains accessible through regular museum admission, presenting furnished interiors that reflect early twentieth-century lighthouse living conditions.
This structure represents one of three remaining screw-pile cottage lighthouses that operated in Chesapeake Bay during the early 1900s.
