Anne Arundel County Heritage


Back in the 1950's the folks in Annapolis (the capital of Maryland) made the wise decision to maintain as many of the historical buildings in the city as possible. The goal was to keep the 17th century feel, and as a result Annapolis has the largest collection of 17th century real estate architecture in the country. You can stroll through downtown Annapolis and enjoy the museums, historic sites, shopping, dining, and views of the water.


Anne Arundel County is located on the Chesapeake Bay, and there are many water activities. Every fall a week is devoted to the sail boat show, and a week is devoted to the power boat show. All of the boats are in the waterm and visitors to the shows can board the boats. Any time of the year, you can walk across the Easport Bridge over Spa Creek. Hundreds of boats can be viewed from the bridge. The U.S. Naval Academy adds to the rich maritime heritage of Annapolis.
