Join us as we participate again this year in Maryland Day!
Our special display for the day is called The War Close to Home: U-boat Attacks on Atlantic and Chesapeake Bay Shipping, 1942-1945

During World War II, Maryland joined the fight against German submarine attacks on supply ships in the Atlantic Ocean and on the mid-Atlantic coast. In this new display, discover the heroism of a Naval Academy graduate who sank a U-boat off the North Carolina coast. Learn about a damaged Navy destroyer and other ship explosions that revealed German mines planted at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, halting ship traffic to Baltimore. Pay tribute to a Navy guard from Odenton whose merchant ship was torpedoed in the Atlantic Ocean. Learn about a Baltimore pilot whose B-24 bomber “Tidewater Tillie” sank a U-boat in the Atlantic.

The Odenton Heritage Society Historical Center is located at 1367 Odenton Road, Odenton 21113. Admission and tours of our museum is free!

Maryland Day Weekend is a unique heritage based group of events in Annapolis and southern Anne Arundel County.
