Activity Description
Annapolis is home to some of the grandest and most historically significant houses in the nation. Your colonial-clad host will guide you to and through the inside of five magnificent, landmark locations:- The Maryland State House, our nation's oldest, continuously-used for legislation, state capitol building. The old senate chamber looks much as it did when George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in 1783.
- Saint Anne's Parish, a house of worship, built in 1859. The Tiffany-designed window was donated in 1893. A communion silver set from 1696 is still in use today. The adjacent burial grounds date from 1695 to 1790.
- The Hammond-Harwood House, 1774, is known for having the most beautiful doorway in Colonial America. William Buckland's last project, this house contains an outstanding collection of John Shaw furniture and Charles Willson Peale paintings.
- The Chase-Lloyd House was begun in 1769 by Samuel Chase and finished by Edward Lloyd IV, who employed assistance from Mr. Buckland. A spectacular Palladian window overlooks the floating hallway staircase.
- The Paca House Gardens, a restored two-acre pleasure garden, includes a fishpond with a bridge and a two-story summer house. The five-part mansion & gardens were built 1763-65 by Governor William Paca.
