Annapolis is the oldest continually working State Capital in the country. Yes that’s right. Among other things, we were the capital of the US for a short time, the Treaty of Paris was signed here, and George Washington resigned his commission as President here. There are numerous historic sites, beautiful architecture, all within easy walking. As Annapolitans, the Annapolis Bed & Breakfast Association works closely with various tour groups, museums, etc. Let us help you plan your visit to enjoy this quaint and vibrant living museum we call Annapolis.

The United States Navy was born during the American Revolution when the need for a naval force to match the Royal Navy became clear.
Today, the US Naval Academy is an impressive school with almost 350 acres of Annapolis’s shoreline. A visit to Annapolis would not be complete without a visit and stroll around these pristine grounds. Our Annapolis Bed & Breakfast Association knows these grounds well, and would be pleased to help guide you.

St. John’s College traces its origins to King William's School, the Maryland colony's "free" school founded in 1696. The term free referred to the school's purpose: to make students free through liberal education, an aim that still holds today. It is a beautiful campus, on 36 acres, with only approx. 400 students.
