The Richardson Maritime Museum in Cambridge has been awarded $380,000 in state funding through Maryland鈥檚 2026 legislative session to help purchase its historic campus on Hayward Street. Museum leaders say the funding marks a major step toward securing permanent ownership of the property and advancing long-term goals for maritime preservation, education, and community programming in Dorchester County. The museum plans to use the funding to help complete the property acquisition and continue expanding its preservation and educational efforts.
