Maryland State House

Highlight • Historical Site

The Maryland State House in Annapolis is the oldest U.S. legislative building still in active use for legislative purposes. Construction began in 1772 and took until 1797 to complete. Its striking feature is its large wooden dome—built entirely without nails. The U.S. Congress of the Confederation met here between 1783 and 1784. Today, the building is located on the grounds of Fort Williams Park and is managed by the State House Trust.

Annapolis City Dock

Highlight • Structure

The docks are a wonderful stop on a bike trip. Historic buildings hug the water of Chesapeake Bay and boats come and go from the harbor. There are lots of eateries to refuel and shops to browse through. The docks have hosted town merchants for over 350 years.
