The Free School Museum has several displays, including artifacts found on the property, a collection of textbooks used over 150 years ago, and toys that children might have played with in colonial times. The site has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.

Captain Salem Avery purchased the property in the 1860s. He was a prominent waterman/ oyster buy boat captain from Long Island, NY. He moved to Shady Side to work on the Chesapeake Bay, where oysters were more prosperous. During the warmer months, he was a farmer. He owned several acres of farmland throughout Shady Side, MD. 

In 1923, the Avery family sold the house to the National Masonic Fishing Club —comprised largely of Jewish families. Anne Arundel County had segregated beaches, which prevented Jewish families from public recreation. Among the fishing club's members were the family of Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor and a national advocate for workers’ rights and social justice. For decades, Jewish families spent their summers in Shady Side, finding belonging, recreation, and refuge along the Chesapeake Bay. 

In 1989, the Jewish Families sold the property to the Shady Side Rural Heritage Association. The purpose was to turn the building into a museum that honored local history, watermen culture, and have a positive environmental impact.

Today, it is a museum that provides educational outreach to the public, children's activities on Saturdays, and environmental stewardship.

At Chesepiooc Real Ale Brewery, we push past traditional brewing by embracing creativity and experimentation. While we love to brew traditional cask-conditioned real ales and draught beers; we also love to brew just “to see what may happen.” Our 29 taps, including, 5 beer engines, are filled with the results of this philosophy. On any given day you may find our very traditional ESB, English Nut Brown, German-style Lager, or West Coast Style IPA on tap next to a Honey-Basil Hefeweizen or a Mango-Habanero NEIPA. Or maybe even a Cinnamon-Vanilla White Stout. We like to challenge ourselves to keep things fresh and interesting – which is why we eschew “flagship” beers in favor of small batches of ever-changing brews.

Our approach to recipe development knows no bounds. Sometimes we like to brew very traditional styles and stay as true as possible to those traditions. Other times, we start with nothing more than an idea or flavor profile and a desire to brew something interesting.

To enable this philosophy and to enhance our creativity; we built a small, custom brewery that allows us to make our ever-changing variety of small-batch beers. Our tiny brewery is a labor of love – we brew constantly to make sure we always have something new and interesting for you to drink.

Crooked Crab Brewing Company is the brain child of three Maryland natives and University of Maryland graduates: Earl Holman, Alex Josephs and Daniel Messeca. Active participants (ahem) in the craft beer scene for years, they have traveled near and far visiting breweries and festivals and have done their fair share of home brewing in the process.

Hancock’s Resolution is a historic farmstead located on the north side of Bodkin Point near the mouth of the Patapsco River. It was originally established as a tobacco plantation in 1665, 31 years after the founding of the Maryland colony. After passing through several owners, the first Hancock acquired most of the farm’s land in 1733. In the mid-1700s, with the growth of Baltimore, the family switched from growing tobacco to farming fruit and vegetables. In the early 1800s the farm was more than 400 acres; the current property now is a 26.5-acre farm/park owned by Anne Arundel County. The existing farm house, built in 1785, is the only restored but unchanged 18th century farmhouse open to the public in Anne Arundel County. The site is now a County Park; visit their website for a virtual tour and more.

The beautiful Maryland State House is the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use and is the only state house ever to have served as the nation's capitol. The Continental Congress met in the Old Senate Chamber from November 26, 1783 to August 13, 1784. During that time, George Washington came before Congress to resign his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the Treaty of Paris was ratified, marking the official end of the Revolutionary War.

The State House is where the Maryland General Assembly convenes for three months each year, and the elected leadership of the state — the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the House of Delegates and president of the Senate — all have their offices here.

The Java Dairy Farm

In 1915, entrepreneur Robert Lee Forrest purchased 368 acres of ailing farmland and turned it into a thriving dairy business, which supplied milk to Annapolis.

Forrest took a scientific approach to dairy farming. He developed a special building for hay-drying that maintained hay’s nutritional value, and he enforced strict cleanliness in milking and bottling.

Working on Java Dairy Farm became popular because Forrest paid his farmhands a dollar a day in 1915, almost twice the going rate. Upon his death in 1962, Forrest bequeathed the farm and $1.7 million to the Smithsonian Institution.

Please note: this panel is currently on display in the window of the Woodlawn House

Woodlawn is the oldest building in the Smithsonian’s collection that is still in its’ original location (the 1735 portion of the original house). Only two families have ever owned the house; the Sellman family for approximately the first 200 years, and the Kirkpatrick-Howats, for the next 100 years. Woodlawn’s most famous resident, Jonathan Sellman, fought with George Washington at Valley Forge. However, many other people have also lived on the land that is now SERC’s campus. SERC purchased the house in 2008 and took ownership in 2010, and it served as the citizen science environmental archeology lab for several years. The house was rehabilitated in 2020 to serve as SERC’s exhibit space and to showcase the archeological finds discovered on campus and to tell the story of this place. SERC has opened the Woodlawn History Center, whose exhibit tells the story of the land and the many people who have lived on what is now SERC’s campus, and places this local history within the broader historical context.

In 1692, on order of the king and queen, William and Mary, Maryland became a crown colony, and the Maryland provincial assembly, then located in St. Mary’s City voted “the Establishment of the Protestant Religion within this Province.” Thirty Church of England parishes were set up throughout the colony, one of which, Middle Neck Parish, later became St. Anne’s. Sheriffs were required to collect taxes, paid in tobacco, to be turned over to parish vestries to build necessary churches and chapels and then to use the proceeds to support the clergy.

The first St. Anne’s was built about 1700. Once complete, it served as the Chapel Royal for Maryland until 1715, when the Crown returned the province to Lord Baltimore. No known pictures of it were made during its existence. Often in succeeding years additions were made to accommodate the growing population. Finally in 1775 the building was taken down in anticipation of constructing a new, bigger church in the Circle, paid for by the provincial government.

Materials for building the new church were purchased, but the start of the Revolution put building plans on hold. Services were held first in a theatre and then in King William’s School (which later became St. John’s College). Both the new government and private citizens appropriated some of the materials for their own uses. After the War the State replaced the construction materials. Building began in the late 1780s and a new, larger and more elegant building was consecrated in 1792.

The second church building burned down in a spectacular fire on Valentine’s Day evening, 1858. In less than two months, the Vestry adopted a plan for the present church drawn up by C. Harrison Condit, a young architect from Newark, New Jersey, who was the nephew of the Bishop of Maryland. The style is Romanesque Revival, newly popular for churches and public building in the 1840s and 50s. Construction proceeded quickly. Services in the new church were held beginning in July 1859. The work was essentially complete, save for the tower, which was not completed until late 1865. The bell, which tolls on the hour, was installed then.

St. John’s distinctive liberal arts curriculum and educational practices have long given it a highly respected place among American colleges and universities. Its strong commitment to collaborative inquiry and to the study of original texts makes St. John’s College a particularly vibrant community of learning.

As they participate in lively discussions and throw themselves into the activity of translating, writing, demonstrating, conducting experiments, and analyzing musical compositions, St. John’s students learn to speak articulately, read attentively, reason effectively, and think creatively.
