Why visit Annapolis?

Annapolis is the capital of Maryland, located on the Chesapeake Bay where the Severn River meets it. Its compact historic center is full of brick colonial buildings, narrow streets and waterfront views. It is home to the United States Naval Academy and is often called America's sailing capital.

Visit the Maryland State House, the oldest state capitol still in continuous legislative use, where George Washington resigned his military commission in 1783. Tour the grounds of the Naval Academy and see the chapel, where John Paul Jones is buried in the crypt. Stroll down Main Street to City Dock and the narrow harbor inlet known as Ego Alley, lined with boats. Explore the William Paca House and Garden, the home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the campus of St. John's College. Take a sailing cruise on the bay or simply watch the boats from the waterfront. Maryland blue crabs and crab cakes are the classic local meal, best eaten outdoors in warm weather.
