Hiding in plain sight in the heart of Cambridge is the Richardson Maritime Museum, one of Dorchester County’s gems. Even local residents frequently walk by the classic brick building on the corner of High and Locust Streets and assume it is a bank.

Since it spent almost all of the first hundred years of its existence in just that capacity, that assumption is well founded. However, passersby are missing a treat if they don’t take time to stop in and see what the former bank now holds.
