"Francis Asbury, father of American Methodism, founded a Methodist society in Annapolis in 1777. They built a meeting house in 1785 within the present grounds of the naval academy in 1789. The 'old blue church' moved to this site ans housed one of the earliest methodist congregations in America. In 1818, they built a new church on state circle at North Street here they worshiped for 155 years."
