Museum of Historic Annapolis

Hotbed of the Revolution! Catalyst for Civil Rights! Home of the U.S. Naval Academy! Heart of the Chesapeake! Annapolis is all these things – and more. Visit the Museum of Historic Annapolis and explore three floors of exhibitions and stories in our historic building at 99 Main Street. Annapolis: An American Story is the perfect first stop where you can begin your discovery of Annapolis, A Museum Without Walls™. Annapolis: An American Story shares dramatic stories of Annapolis and its diverse people – revolutionaries, visionaries, and champions in our nation’s continuing quest for liberty and justice – who helped to shape our American story across more than 400 years. An inspiring film, chronological and colorful exhibits, and an amazing collection of objects provide a fun learning experience, spark visitor interests, and share more information about our 10 partner sites, all located within a short walk from the museum: the William Paca House and Garden, the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, the Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park, the Banneker-Douglass Museum, the Maryland State House, the Hammond-Hardwood House, the Mitchell Museum at St. John’s College, the James Brice House, Hogshead, and the historic Waterfront Warehouse. There is so much to see and do – you will want to return again and again to experience it all!
