Discover Our Heritage Sites with Visit Annapolis

Did you know every county in Maryland (and every heritage area) has a Destination Marketing Organization (DMO)? Ours is Visit Annapolis! Its full marketing name is “Visit Annapolis and Anne Arundel County” (VAAAC). Much more than a visitor information center, they are responsible for generating revenue for the local economy by promoting Annapolis, the county, and the Chesapeake Bay to leisure and business travelers across the country and around the world.

Even during these challenging times, their team has been hard at work marketing our area, whether it’s engaging us from home with #CelebrateOurMids and #AnnapolisMayDayAtHome or keeping up our spirits by distributing Don’t Give Up the Ship posters to our small businesses.

In continuing to highlight virtual tours of our partners, here are some of our favorite videos produced by Visit Annapolis featuring local heritage sites.
