Drum Point Lighthouse/Cove Point Lighthouse

Nice museum, great history, unique exhibits.

GREAT historic venue with expansive views and parking

While on our journey up the East Coast to see as many lighthouses as possible we ran across this little lighthouse. It’s attached to a sea museum which charges you a fee of $9.00 per person to look at at bunch of stuff that I really don’t care about seeing. The only way you can see the lighthouse is to pay the fee just to walk a wooden dock. We travel by RV with our two six pound dogs. When we enter a building they are in a enclosed dog stroller where they can’t get out. All they do is lay down and sleep or just look around. They don’t bark, pee or poop while in their stroller. Many of the children running loose inside the museum could have done far greater damage than our two dogs. After I had paid, a blonde headed woman that works in the gift shop came running out screaming like she had just seen two huge aggressive dogs foaming at the mouth waiting to devour her. She wouldn’t stop yelling “they have dogs in the stroller”. I saw no signs stating no pets allowed on their door or brochure. The nice gentleman behind the desk I’m sure felt the only way to calm her down was to not let our pets past his counter. I told him if my two little dogs weren’t welcome then then I wasn’t either, therefore I ask for my money back. My wife was going to buy something in the gift store but we both agreed after the way we were treated they didn’t deserve our business. What I don’t understand is how can small children not pose a danger to her gift shop and the museum but two little dogs zipped up in a stroller can. ud83eudd26‍♂ufe0fnI managed to take a peep at the lighthouse and what a huge disappointment. Please keep in mind this was my experience, others may not experience the same treatment if the blonde is not on duty. The attached picture is of the two destructive dogs that she was screaming about. The stroller was zipped completely closed.

Spent a few hrs here. It was really interesting. Kids and I enjoyed it.

Visited on 9-3-19 the staff were very friendly and I loved the lighthouse tour.
