Admission is free.

Preble Hall, named for Edward Preble, houses the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, founded in 1845.
Its Beverley R. Robinson Collection contains 6,000 prints depicting European and American naval history from 1514 through World War II.
It is also home to one of the world's best ship model collections, donated by Henry Huttleston Rogers.
Rogers's donation was the impetus for the construction of Preble Hall.
The museum has approximately 100,000 visitors each year.

The Hammond-Harwood House, located at 19 Maryland Avenue, was built in 1774 for Matthias Hammond, a wealthy Maryland farmer.
Its design was adapted by William Buckland from Andrea Palladio's Villa Pisani to accommodate American Colonial regional preferences.
Since 1940, when the house was purchased from St. John's College by the Hammond-Harwood House Association, it has served as a museum exhibiting a collection of John Shaw furniture and Charles Willson Peale paintings.
Its exterior and interior preserve the original architecture of a mansion from the late Colonial period.

Annapolis City Dock lies at the foot of Main Street that slopes down from Church Circle and St. Anne's Church.
The dock is now a narrow waterway from Spa Creek, once named Carrol's Creek with the dock area called Dock Cove, into the heart of the lower town.
At the head of the dock is a small park with the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial with the Market House and a traffic circle in an expanse of asphalt surrounded by historic buildings.
The Market House, though relatively modern, stands in a vicinity occupied by similar market houses dating to 1730 when the city market was moved from the State House area to the head of the dock.
The dock itself is now used largely by recreational vessels rather than the commercial boats and boats of Chesapeake Bay watermen selling catches.
The dock and surroundings are part of the Colonial Annapolis National Historic Landmark (NHL) District.

The Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley memorial, located in a park at the head of Annapolis City Dock, commemorates the arrival point of Alex Haley's African ancestor, Kunta Kinte, whose story is related in Haley's book Roots.
A sculpture group at the memorial site portrays Alex Haley seated, reading from a book to three children.
The final phase of the memorial's construction was completed in 2002.

The Paca House and Garden encompasses an 18th-century Georgian mansion constructed by William Paca, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
The property includes a terraced garden that has been restored to its colonial-era design.

Annapolis often serves as the end point for the 3,000-mile annual transcontinental Race Across America bicycle race.

To the north of the state house is a monument to Thurgood Marshall, the first black justice of the US Supreme Court and formerly a Maryland lawyer who won many important civil rights cases.

Located just before the Naval Academy Bridge is the World War II Memorial, which was constructed in 1998 to symbolize the sacrifice made by the 275,000 citizens from Maryland who joined the service to fight in the war.
The memorial is composed of 48 granite columns to represent the 48 states at the time of the war surrounding an amphitheater in which are the names of 6,454 men who gave their lives in the war.
Directly behind the memorial are both the Maryland, and United States flags, and a star shaped column with a seven sided base to represent Maryland being the seventh state in the Union.
