"Captain Smith discovered the unique beauty of the Chesapeake Bay and you will, too, when you visit Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, which rests on the longest stretch of the bay in Maryland. Conveniently located to both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Annapolis looks much the same as it did when first laid out as Maryland's capital city in 1694.
Annapolis has one of the largest collections of 17th and 18th century houses in a single city in the country. The National Historic District is a tapestry of modest and great buildings, all within a walkable distance of each other."

Baltimore Area
"Special attention was paid to the Inner Harbor area, where hotel, office buildings and entertainment facilities such as Harborplace, National Aquarium in Baltimore and Maryland Science Center replaced dilapidated wharves and warehouses. Other recent additions to Baltimore include the building of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the city's new ballpark, and the establishment of NAACP headquarters in the city.
Today, Baltimoreans take pride in their city, eager to live and work here, and to take advantage of a city rich in culture and history. Influenced by the talent of writers Edgar Allen Poe and H.L. Mencken, musician James Hubert "Eubie" Blake and singer Billie Holiday, Baltimore continues to grow, boasting one of the most remarkable transformations in recent American history. "

Lower Eastern Shore
"From prehistoric times to the present, life on Maryland's Lower Eastern Shore has depended on the ocean, the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, and the land between. Shell fishing, hunting, agriculture and boat-building--and, more recently, tourism--have sustained ways of life built on the resources of land and water. While many areas of the nation are seeking ways to market their "heritage," few regions can claim such a distinctive human ecology."

St. Michaels
"On the morning of August 10, 1813, a number of British barges manned by marines shelled the town and attacked a fort on the harbor side. Residents, forewarned, had hoisted lanterns to the masts of ships and in the tops of the trees causing the cannons to overshoot the town. This first "blackout" was effective and only one house was struck. It is known as the "Cannonball House".
St. Michaels is now known as "The Town that Fooled The British".
Since 1963, when St. Michaels celebrated its Sesquicentennial of the "Battle with the British", it has been "rediscovered". The town offers a quiet charm and a safe, peaceful haven for a day, weekend or vacation to stroll the historic streets and museums. Fine restaurants and interesting shops add to the ambiance, making St. Michaels a visitor's delight. "
