How Far From Old Bayside to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Old Bayside to various places of note, such as the White House.

A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take a little over three hours.
• Annapolis, which is the State Capital of Maryland, lies 20 miles [32.2 km] to the north (N). The buggy would take most of a day and walking would take just over a day.
