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-Harwood House, the Mitchell Gallery 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! 

The exhibition is located at the Museum of Historic Annapolis, which is conveniently located near City Dock in the downtown Colonial Annapolis Historic District. It is just steps away from a variety of restaurants and shops, and other interesting sites and museums.
