The Mission of Rock Hall Marine Restoration & Heritage Center is to collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret boats and other objects related to the history of boating, sailing and working vessels in Rock Hall, Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay to enhance learning, understanding and appreciation of the contributions of these vessels and builders.
The Rock Hall Clam House in Kent County was acquired by the Maryland Food Center Authority in 1990 and operated as the Rock Hall Seafood Processing Plant until 1997. It closed to all operations in January 2004. In cooperation with the Town of Rock Hall and the Rock Hall community, the Plant was rededicated as the Rock Hall Clam House in November 2013. The Rock Hall Marine Restoration & Heritage Center is a Maryland Nonprofit Organization and operate as a 501(c)(3) under the Mid-Shore Community Foundation.
