Directions: From Baltimore, take I97 down to Rt50, follow the signs to Annapolis. From DC, take Rt 50 east to Annapolis. Get off Rt 50 at the Rowe Blvd exit. Go straight on Rowe Blvd (through 3 lights) until you get to a T intersection. This will be Rowe+College Ave. Turn left and go to the next light. Turn right onto King George and continue straight until you enter the USNA via the "Vistor's Gate". You must either have DoD decals on your car or get a pass from the Pass+Tag Office. (Pass+Tag is in a building next to the Visitor's Gate.) Once inside the USNA from the Visitor's gate, just go straight and follow the road around with the water on your left. Eventually you will see the red running track. Chauvenet Hall is the building opposite the church across the large grassy area (in case you are walking) and next to a large red running track (in case you are driving). You can find parking in one of the lots nearby the Building.
