Build a lavish resort town on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, with reliable and covenient railroad service from Washington and Baltimore. That was the vision of Otto Mears an independent, short line railroad builder from Colorado. The old railway station was converted into a museum in 1979. It offers a history of the railway and a multimedia look at resort life and transportation in the early 1900's.
