Come join our colonial-clad host on a stroll around town and awaken the rich history of 18th-century Annapolis. Did you know that for nine months in 1783-84, Annapolis served as the capital of the United States? There is much to see and learn in Annapolis so come explore the city with us.
Tours start at the Hard Bean Coffee & BookSellers at 36 Market Space (across from the City Dock and near the bottom of Main Street).
On your tour you will see:
- Hammond-Harwood House - A National Historic Landmark which is said to have the most beautiful doorway in America.
- Chase-Lloyd House - Begun by Samuel Chase, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and completed by Edward Lloyd IV.
- Paca House - A five-part mansion built by William Paca, Maryland governor & Declaration of Independence signer. We visit the 1.8 acre pleasure garden when it is not otherwise engaged.
- Brice House - This impressive Georgian style mansion was built by an aide-de-camp of George Washington.
- Ogle House - Home to two governors and a documented host of a dinner which included distinguished guest, George Washington.
- Government House - Home to Maryland's current Governor.
We'll also take you inside some historic landmarks, including:
- Saint Anne's Church - Romanesque Revival style, burial grounds date from 1695 to 1790, window by Tiffany Studios.
- Waterfront Warehouse - where tobacco was once packed.
- Colonial Kitchen - in the Hammond-Harwood House. Additionally, a bonus hands-on session highlighting the fur trading industry during colonial will be presented here.
- Maryland's State House - our nation's oldest state capitol building in continuous legislative use. This is where George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Due to renovations in the Maryland State House during 2008, only an exterior tour of this treasure is possible. We'll be back inside in 2009.
