Maryland State House in Annapolis — view 2
The Maryland State House is the oldest state capitol still in continuous legislative use, completed in 1779. This Georgian-style building features a distinctive wooden dome, the tallest of its kind in the United States. Visitors encounter historical plaques and portraits inside, which narrate the state’s rich legislative history and important figures. Allow at least an hour to explore the interior and grounds, particularly the Old Senate Chamber where George Washington famously resigned his commission. The surrounding area, with quaint shops and waterfront views, enhances the experience, especially in spring when the cherry blossoms bloom nearby.

His tour of the Naval Academy and historic downtown was a wonderful mix of history, interesting facts, and enjoyment.

  • Historic Annapolis walking tour with a small group

    Historic Annapolis walking tour with a small group

    4.8· 11 reviewsFrom ₹3,429

    Two hours, 2 miles of walking through Annapolis — guided small group setting at a relaxed pace, rain or shine, with frequent stops.

    As a resident, I'm familiar with much of what was shared, yet I still discover new aspects of my hometown on tours like this. My friend visiting from out of town, who had never experienced Annapolis before, also found the tour enjoyable. Our guide, Rebecca, mentioned she was a local, but both she and her partner frequently mispronounced Roger Taney's name; Marylanders pronounce it as "tawney." It wasn't a major issue, but it did make me curious.fiedhp on the Historic Annapolis walking tour with a small group tour
