Out US-50 past the Kenilworth water lily farm, the Marine Band, and Bowie State — one of the oldest HBCUs in the country. It ends where the 1786 Annapolis Convention quietly set up the Constitution, and where the Naval Academy has drilled since 1845.

Where the stories come from

Infinite Road draws from a library of primary sources — public-domain county histories, the WPA American Guide Series, National Register of Historic Places records, local records, and encyclopedic sources — then writes and narrates each story in its own words.
