The Lore Oyster House, a National Historic Landmark located in Solomons, MD, is a restored seafood packing facility from 1934 that showcases the history of oyster processing in the region. Originally established by J.C. Lore and Sons in 1888, the site offers exhibits detailing the journey of oysters from dock to market, highlighting the importance of this industry in Southern Maryland's history.

Once a bustling hub employing around 65 people during its peak, the Lore Oyster House reflects the challenges faced by the oyster industry, including pollution and over-harvesting, which led to its closure in 1978. Today, it serves as a valuable educational resource, preserving the legacy of oyster shucking and the impact of local seafood processing on the community.
