Annapolis,
Maryland
Welcome to Annapolis! Founded in 1649,
we celebrate 350 years as a city which offers a delightful combination
of history and a zest for living. Walk along the old brick sidewalks
much as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson did in the days when
Annapolis was the Capital of the United States (betcha you didn't
know THAT, did you!) And amazingly, if you squint your eyes, you
will see a city which looks remarkable similar to what our Founding
Fathers saw in their day. Architecturally, Annapolis boasts some
of the finest 17th and 18th Century buildings in the country - including
the residences of all four Maryland signers of the Declaration of
Independence.
Annapolis is the home of the United States
Naval Academy founded in 1845 and also the home of St. John's College,
founded in 1696 as King William's School and the third oldest institution
of higher learning in the United States.
Stroll along our famed waterfront or
sit at City Dock and imagine what Annapolis must have been during
the 1700's, when the City was a bustling seaport with vessels sailing
in to trade from all over the world. Or, watch sailboat races in
the harbor and understand why Annapolis is Americas Sailing Capital.
Enjoy the many shops, restaurants, activities and scenery Annapolis
has to offer. Take a sightseeing cruise or walking tour and learn
more about why Annapolis is a great place to visit...or to call home!
