Tilghman Watermen's Museum, Maritime museum on Tilghman Island, United States.
The museum occupies the Lee House, a nineteenth-century building that displays artifacts, photographs, and tools related to maritime traditions of Chesapeake Bay.
Founded in 2008 in an old barbershop, the museum later moved to the Lee House in 2015 to expand its collection of maritime heritage items.
The exhibits present stories of local watermen who practice traditional fishing methods, including crabbing and oystering using skipjacks and log canoes.
The museum opens on weekends from 10 AM to 3 PM, with weekday visits available through scheduled appointments at 6031 Tilghman Island Road.
The Lee House represents one of only two remaining examples of the local W-facade architectural style that characterized Tilghman Island in the 1890s.
