Annapolis

The city stretches along the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Severn River, featuring colonial architecture and waterfront activities throughout its districts.

Established in 1649, Annapolis functioned as the temporary capital of the United States from 1783 to 1784, hosting congressional meetings in the State House.

The Maryland State House contains the largest wooden dome in the country, while the United States Naval Academy shapes the maritime character of the community.

Visitors can access multiple parking facilities near Main Street and City Dock, connecting them to shops, restaurants, and maritime attractions.

The Annapolis Convention of 1786 gathered delegates to address confederation issues, leading to the creation of the United States Constitution in Philadelphia.
