Grand Homes & Gardens: William Paca’s Annapolis House

Blending history, architecture, and horticulture, this year’s Grand Homes & Gardens speaker series, Freedom at Home: Telling the Full Story of America’s Founding Homes and Gardens, showcases the estates of signers of the Declaration of Independence, telling the stories of the people who lived and worked in these grand spaces. 

On March 5, Morven welcomes Glenn Campbell (Historian Emeritus, Historic Annapolis) for an illustrated presentation on William Paca’s Annapolis House, built in the 1760s as the Annapolis home of an ambitious young lawyer who would become a patriot leader, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and third governor of the state of Maryland. After the five-part Georgian mansion was sold, it was home to two other elite households.

Light refreshments will be served.

Other programs in the series take place on March 12, March 26, and April 16.
