Currently located at 209 Willow Street in Pocomoke, Maryland, it is a small structure built about 100 years ago on Brantley Road on land that was purchased by William Sturgis in 1888.

At that time students were transferred to Stephen Long School in the town of Pocomoke City, Maryland. Provides tours of the museum to educate community members about the history of the museum.
