VISIT OUR NATION’S FIRST PEACETIME CAPTIAL ANNAPOLIS, MD FOR A HOLIDAY SPIRIT TOUR

Are you a history buff? If so, you’ve come to the right place! As our nation’s first peacetime capital, you could say our nation took its first breath in Annapolis when the Treaty of Paris was ratified here – officially ending the Revolutionary War. And that’s just the beginning! From it’s earliest days as a colonial capital city, Annapolis was known as the “Athens of America.” For here one could find a wealth of cultural activities, a glittering social season, gracious hospitality and intellectual stimulation.

About Annapolis:

With more surviving 18th century buildings than any other city in the United States, visiting Annapolis is like stepping back in time to the days when the city was a colonial seaport. Known as America’s Sailing Capital, the city is located on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and is a paradise for water lovers, famous for its crab cakes, lighthouses and 500 miles of gorgeous shoreline.

The Historic district of Annapolis is filled with great shops to browse and wonderful places to grab a tasty treat! Christmas will be right around the corner, so what a wonderful way to buy unique gifts. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBZBC-sPHQg
