What to do and see in Annapolis, Maryland (MD): The Best Specialty Museums
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. Tour the campus of the US Naval Academy, or the Maryland State House, the oldest state capitol still in use.

The size & approach taken in this museum was perfect. Rather than overwhelming the visitor with too much information, they made history very meaningful. The little theater had short films on the life of several community activists. The exhibits were enhanced with audio recordings. The preserved church had art works on display at the time of our visit. Overall a very clean, well maintained, welcoming educational experience. Free Admission but we left a well deserved donation.

Pre-Revolutionary War? Give or take a few years.... Quaint, old part of town , a good photo op, near all the downtown touristy places and can take in a bit of history. Great for kids.
