After hearing about this injustice, I immediately pulled into the lot. I have to admit I'm not the biggest consumer of wheat/flour products and I can't bake to save my life, but it doesn't hurt learning about oldest working mill in Maryland (nearly continuous operation since 1682). We walked up and a friendly lady was outside sweeping, she invited us in, and from there it turned into a second grade elementary school field trip. Basically, my friend, the mature adult, talked about the operations of the Mill (stuff like the mill produced flour that fed George Washington's Continental army during the American Revolutionary War), and they traded recipes for buckwheat pancakes. Meanwhile there was me, Princess ADD, who had already gone through every corner of the place and touched all the things. Our volunteer host gave me permission to use the equipment, mainly to distract me, and I went to town shifting and grinding white corn to make corn meal and grits. Basically, I looked like an organ grinder monkey hard at work. So I am pretty sure I paid little or no attention to what our host was saying due to the sheer amount of shiny objects and things to play with around me but here is what I managed to gather about the mill: -The Wye Grist Mill is open from mid-April to mid-November.10 a.m. - 4 p.m, Grinding Days are the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m, when the millers use the big water wheel grinding thingie. -There is a suggested $2 donation -They sell freshly ground whole flour, cornmeal, buckwheat and grits at $5-$6 a bag (about the size of a coffee bean bag). The grits are fantastic and cut to the right coarseness for me. BUY THE GRITS, cause I may have grinded them. The products are stored in the freezer to kill off bugs. So if you're in the Eastern Shore area and into history or using machinery, please pop right in. The staff is friendly, the museum is small but fun to look over, and it's a great place to pop in for an educational trip with the kids since the equipment is safe enough for me to use.

As one who has dealt with "you don't have a car? KYS" rhetoric I have no sympathy for fools who go to a popular historic town and whine about parking. The town runs a free shuttle to make things easier and the core super-crowded area is only a few blocks. Enjoyable scene overall. Not as "try hard" as Inner Harbor and a hint of upscale maritime culture but not in an oppressive way like when I sat near a table of Rick Von Slonekers in Petoskey. You don't like overpriced touristy T-shirts? Me neither. Views of ancient (by American standards) buildings are free. As is the spectacular sunset at Spa Creek Bridge (seasonal, I'm not an export on earth curvature but it's there in August).

Thirty miles from Baltimore, 40 from Washington, D.C., Annapolis, Maryland, the capital city of…read moreMaryland is located near the mouth of the Severn River at Chesapeake Bay. Its history began when a group of Puritans left the Virginia Colony and ended up establishing a new community near the current location on the other side of the Severn River in the mid-1600s. This was land given by the King of England to Lord Baltimore, whose wife Anne Arundel gave her name to this town and surrounding county. During the later days of our Revolutionary War, the growing city (now, Annapolis after Queen Anne of England) was the temporary capital of our emerging Continental nation. When Philadelphia was occupied by the British, the Continental Congress met in the new Maryland State House. It was there in 1783 that the Treaty of Paris was signed declaring an end to the struggle between the combatants. It was also in this place that George Washington resigned his commission as Commander of the Continental Army, and returned to private life until elected first President of the United States. Today, Annapolis is the capital of Maryland and the home of the U.S. Naval Academy. It is an attractive city, with strong ties to its past and oriented to the Bay that has provided so many resources to the people living there. For visitors like us, it is a good cultural place to hang out for a few days. The Academy is worth a half day tour for the midshipmen parading on campus and the naval museum. Main Street is worth a few hours to stroll and explore this old architecture and tourist zone where there are things to buy if of that inclination. The Maryland House at the top of Main Street and close by the capital rotunda, is a great stop for a drink or meal, as it looks and feels much as it did when Ben Franklin, John Adams and John Jay celebrated the signing of the Treaty of of Paris next door. We hoisted one to their honor in the darkly wooded tavern. Finally, check out the city dock area, where you can watch the sailing boats in the harbor and bay, grab a water taxi for a tour, and a table in front of the Federal House for a fresh seafood lunch. This area is very picturesque and steeped in American history. It is well worth a couple of days to explore. And, if you're into blue crabs, the best place to indulge.

You can enter the grounds free of charge after clearing a security check-point. He is credited with with having uttered the phrase "I have not yet begun to fight" in response to a quest for his surrender at the Battle of Flamborough Head during the Revolutionary War. His burial on the grounds of the U.S. Navel Academy is a complicated matter. Upon his death in 1792 he was interred in the French royal family private cemetery having gained the respect of the family while residing in France at the time. Only two years later in 1796 France's Revolutionary government sold the property and his burial on that land was forgotten. It was not until 1906 that his body was brought back to the United States and the U.S. Navel Academy under the direction of Theodore Roosevelt. The crypt has a separate entrance below the chapel of the United States Navel Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The ornate sarcophagus is covered in sculpted barnacles and is supported by legs in the shape of stylized dolphins. The sarcophagus is made of black and white marble. There is a bust of John Paul Jones and various other artifacts in this subterranean rotunda. The crypt is well done and worth seeing.
