- KeithGreenville, SC3 contributionsYou can’t go to Annapolis without visiting the Academy. It will make any American proud and gives hope for the future of Democracy.

- LoisTravels2Charlottesville, VA24 contributionsImpressive State Capitol Building. So much rich history in a beautiful building. Free tour at your pace. You need ID’s to get inside. Highly recommend .Written May 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Heddy GMalvern, PA582 contributionsLots of fun things to do here, we hiked a lot of the paved trails and saw fun art and interesting science installments along the way. Ice skating rink was open when we went and it looked fun, tho we did not partake. The $6 entrance fee is definitely put to good use as its very well maintained here.Written December 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dennis H83 contributionsGreat tour of the house by our wonderful Docin Kathy. Knowledgeable and funny. So many historical arttifacts and historical nuggets. Gardens are beautiful. This was a highlight during our visir to beautiful Anapolis.
Highly recomended!!!Written May 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Piero CAnnapolis, MD527 contributionsThis charming house helps visitors understand the relative poverty of the wealthy classes in colonial America, presenting a rather charmingly underwhelming “luxury”. Beautifully restored with period furnishings, the almost cramped setting offers two floors of interesting stories, and the shameful relics of slavery. The tour is an hour long and conducted by highly knowledgeable and personable docents with connections to the estate.Written August 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Earl D1 contributionThis tour is amazing. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. We came away with a great appreciation for the history of Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse.Written October 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mikhail384230Minneapolis, MN46 contributionsNo better way to spend a nice day in Annapolis. The historic tour of the Chesapeake Bay is a few hours and led by extremely friendly and knowledgeable people. You get a sense of Annapolis’ past and present, and get some time on the water. Highly recommend! The museum itself is small and gives a nice history of the region’s oyster and fishing industry.Written April 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WILLIAM B3 contributionsGreat food, drink, and places to stay. Easy to walk around.

- LAURIE SBuckhannon, WV442 contributionsThis is mostly a park for beach and boat people. We went during the week. It was not crowded and they have a very small nature center.
