    Maryland's Heart: Annapolis & Anne Arundel County History

    Miglior citazione da Maryland's Heart: Annapolis & Anne Arundel County History

    “

    Annapolis is the only place in the country where you can still visit surviving houses of all of a state's signers of the Declaration of Independence. It served as the first peacetime capital of the United States, where George Washington voluntarily resigned his commission as commander-in-chief.
