Activity Description
Women of all social classes lived in 18th-century Annapolis - slaves, indentures, gentry and the middling class. Your colonial-clad guide will show you where they lived, where they worked and what they wore. The fashions of the day were not just fashionable, but told a great deal about who you were. Learn about all of this and more, as you explore the Golden Age of Annapolis:- Come to know the wives that stood behind Maryland’s four signers of the Declaration of Independence
- Learn why women were often tavern keepers
- Who was the woman that published and printed the Maryland Gazette?
- Was being an actress a respectable profession?
- Learn which professions were open to women, and which were not!
You are also invited into the Sands' House, the private home of Ann Jensen, a direct descendant of the Sands family. The Sands’ House is believed to be the oldest house in Annapolis and has been in the family since 1771. Ann will be there to show you treasures passed down through generations and treasures unearthed on the premises. She'll also tell you of the seamstresses / tavern keepers of her ancestors.
We will also take you into the colonial kitchen of the Hammond-Harwood House, a fine mansion built in 1774. Here you will see where and how city slave women lived in the 18th-century.
Information, laughs and fun await everyone taking this tour - women, men and families!
