After passing Ben's Creek Community, pilot six miles down to where the Patuxent River meets St. Leonard's Creek. This will be the location of Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum. There is a launch in front of the museum that can only be used for free if you call the museum in advance at 410-586-8504. There is about a mile from the launch site to Sukeek's Cabin Site. The park is open April 15 through October 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday through Sunday. Admission is free. For a guided tour call 410-586-8500 or visit their website at www.jefpat.org. Sukeek's Cabin Site is located in the woods behind a white building called the Mac Lab in Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum. The Mac Lab is located right next to a red brick building called the Academy of Natural Sciences Estuarine Research Center. There is an interpreted sign to help you locate Sukeek's Cabin Site. From the sign, follow the path in the woods to locate the actual site.

Sukeek was the African-American ancestor of many families, some of whom still live in Calvert County. According to tradition among her descendents, Sukeek was enslaved and brought to the United States in the 19th century. Sukeek's Cabin is an archaeological site containing the remains of the house where descendents of Sukeek lived. All that remains at this site are the building's fossil rock foundation and chimney stones. Existence of the archeological site was made known in 1996 when Daniel Brown and his wife Octavia Brown mentioned the ruins of the cabin of Octavia Brown's great-great grandmother. Octavia Brown's great-great grandmother was named Sukeek, and for this reason the archeological site was called Sukeek's Cabin site.

Researchers are able to trace Octavia Brown's lineage to Sukeek. Octavia Brown was one of 18 children conceived by Eliza and Everett Jr. Eliza was one of the seven children of Jane Dawkins Johnson. Since Jane Dawkins Johnson was said to have died near the end of World War I, researchers were able to find her death certificate. The death certificate revealed that Janes Dawkins Johnson's mother was Becky Coats. Becky Coats was Sukeek's daughter.

Census records after the Civil War sugest that Sukeek's descendents lived next to each other in three households at what is now Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum. One of the households is Sukeek's Cabin. Archeological research shows that apparently this was the house of Jane Dawkins Johnson, Sukeek's granddaughter. Researchers are not sure if Jane Dawkins Johnson's foremother lived here as well.
