Get Involved

Getting involved at Historic St. Mary’s City is more than working a staff position, becoming a member, or volunteering – it’s experiencing and learning new skills, and meeting new people. Many at HSMC have shared their time with us for over ten years, becoming a community of our own. We offer numerous opportunities for all ages, and look forward to sharing our passion with you!
