J.C. Lore Oyster House, located in Solomons, MD, is a restored 1934 seafood packing house that has been designated a National Historic Landmark. The exhibits in the house explore the entire process of oyster processing, from receiving oysters at the dock to packing and shipping them to markets across the region.
Founded in 1888, J.C. Lore and Sons was one of the largest and most successful seafood packing companies in Southern Maryland, specializing in packing and shipping fish, crabs, and oysters. However, due to a decline in the local oyster population and the difficulty in recruiting new oyster shuckers, the company closed its doors in 1978.
