History & Museums

Annapolis served as the first peacetime U.S. capital and was home to four signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Historic sites include:
- Maryland State House: The oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use, where George Washington resigned his military commission and the Treaty of Paris was ratified, ending the Revolutionary War.

- William Paca House and Garden: Home of a Declaration signer, featuring stunning 18th-century architecture.

- Hammond-Harwood House: One of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in America, built in 1774 and renowned for its intricate details and period furnishings

Visitors can stroll cobblestone streets lined with colonial-era buildings, imagining the footsteps of founding fathers who once walked here.
