Located less than an hour east of bustling Washington D.C., Annapolis, Maryland, is an ideal road trip destination for anyone wanting to breathe in the refreshing air of the Chesapeake Bay. If you’re looking for an excuse for a day trip this fall, consider the following reasons why you should visit Annapolis.

The historic Maryland State House is open to the public seven days a week, allowing visitors to take advantage of the free walking tours. You can see several other historic buildings throughout the city, including the Old Treasury building.
