Annapolis, Maryland: The United States Naval Academy

When in Annapolis, a visit to the United States Naval Academy is well worth your time. Take a guided tour or get a map and set out on your own like we did.

The chapel is a "must-see"



The gorgeous stained glass windows in the chapel were made
by Tiffany.





We were lucky enough to hear this gentleman playing the organ when we
visited the chapel.



Below the chapel is the crypt of John Paul Jones,
hero of the American Revolution.

Preble Hall houses the U. S. Naval Museum
