I love Maryland. I cannot imagine living anywhere else. Look at our location. Close to DC where there is so much history regarding our great country. Close to Virginia which is loaded to the brim with history. AND……let us not forget Annapolis!
I listed the information below from the Annapolis website:
Join Historic Annapolis at HistoryQuest, 99 Main Street, for three nights: and live the debate over liberty, in the same fashion as the Founding Fathers would have, around the punch bowl! Partake in the “spirits of 1776” each evening with rum punch, mixed according to original 18th-century recipes, and finger foods.
Thursday, July 1st – Add your voice to the discussion as Mr. Paca and Governor Eden duel with words the issues facing Annapolitans in 1776. Where do your loyalties lie?
