The story
The Tilghman Watermen's Museum (established 2008) records the maritime traditions of the people of Tilghman Island and the unique way of life of the watermen who lived on the island. It is located on Tilghman Island, Maryland, United States. Originally located in an old barbershop at 5778 Tilghman Island Road, the museum relocated as of June 2015 to the Lee House, a historic home off MD 33. Lee House is the best preserved example of a style of vernacular architecture unique to Tilghman Island, Maryland, known as a "W" facade house.
