Located next to the Small Craft Building and adjacent to the boat basin, the Patuxent Small Craft Center serves as the headquarters for the small craft program. Here, volunteers of the Patuxent Small Craft Guild under the direction of the museum's boatwright, Mark Wilkins, maintain the museum's fleet of historic boats and preserve the art and skills of wooden boat building. Boat building classes are held year-round for those interested in building a traditional wooden boat, or we can build one for you. Contact CMM Boatwright and Curator of Maritime History for details.
