The event runs from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM and is self-guided. Your tour will begin at the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, where you will pick up your tour booklet. It will include a map of all locations and information regarding each property. An educator will be on-site at each location to discuss the unique history of the building.
New This Year!
When you purchase your tickets online early, you’ll be given the option to sign up for one of two guided tours of select sites included in hte Historic Sites Tour. Enjoy a walk as your guide shares stories of old downtown Ocean City.
This guided portion will be about an hour and a half walk from the Inlet, up to City Hall, and back down the Boardwalk to the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, a mile-and-a-half round trip of walking.
This guided tour will only take you to some of the sites of the Historic Sites Tour; you will be able to visit those before or after your guided tour on your own.
