Drum Point Light was established in 1883, forty miles southeast of Washington, DC near Solomon, Maryland. This is a screw pile light erected in ten feet of water. This light had a one and a half story keeper’s cottage built atop wrought iron piles and had a fourth order lens that used a fixed red light to warn mariners away from the point. Water gradually receded from Drum Point and the beacon remained idle for years. It was moved to Calvert Marine Museum and gradually restored. BASE 2.75"W X 2.5"D 3"H
