Activity Description
Walk Annapolis with a uniformed aide-de-camp of General George Washington. Hear the saga of General Washington’s 1783 journey from New York to Annapolis as he made his way here to resign his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army.
He could have easily declared himself king; but he did not! This most extraordinary event in our nation’s history took place in Annapolis, in the Maryland State House. It makes you wonder... - Why did General Washington wait almost two years after Yorktown before resigning his commission?
- Why did General Washington come to Annapolis for this momentous occasion?
- What did General Washington do for those five days in Annapolis before resigning?
- Where did he sleep in Annapolis?
- Just how many ladies did he dance with at the ball?
- And … hmmm... what was Martha doing?
This tour also takes you into the old senate chamber of the Maryland State House. Built in 1772, this is the oldest state house in continuous legislative use in our nation. You will stand in the same room where George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and other prominent founding fathers congregated on that singularly unique day.
