What Makes Annapolis Unique?
- The Chesapeake Bay - is the largest estuary in the United States, providing natural environs, sightseeing, sailing, fishing and more.
- City Dock - the City Dock is at the heart of the Historic District, where many of the city's orginal 18th century buildings still stand. In fact, the skyline of the friendly Annapolis harbor has remained much the same for hundreds of years.
- The Maryland State House - is the oldest in continuous legislative use in the United States. Construction started in 1772, and the Maryland legislature first met there in 1779. It is topped by the largest wooden dome built without nails in the nation. The Maryland state house housed the workings of the government from November 26, 1783 to August 13, 1784, and the Treaty of Paris was ratified there on January 14, 1784, so Annapolis became the first peacetime capital of the US.
