Colonial Annapolis

By Linda Tancs

William Paca House in Annapolis, Maryland, is one of the finest 18th– century homes in the country and a National Historic Landmark. The five-part Georgian mansion was built in the 1760s for William Paca, one of Maryland’s four signers of the Declaration of Independence and the state’s third governor. Guided tours of the house feature period furnishings and paintings and include admission to the gardens, where visitors can view native and heirloom plants among the terraced landscape as well as a practical kitchen garden.
