The Museum is located in the heart of Morattico, at one time a thriving watermen’s village with a steamboat wharf. It is housed in the 1901 Morattico General Store building. Artifacts, photos, and documents related to activities in a working watermen’s settlement and the function of the general store are being preserved to honor the past and educate new generations.

MWM opens to the public for 2020 season (Saturdays noon – 4 p.m., Sundays 1 – 4 p.m., May through October).
