4th of July Celebration with Historic Annapolis

Celebrations for July 4th at Historic Annapolis begins with an inspirational Naturalization Ceremony on the outdoor terrace of the William Paca House and Garden, when people from communities around the globe become our nation’s newest citizens in a ceremony conducted by officials from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Naturalization Ceremony is free and open to the public, but please note seating is limited.

Then, the William Paca House will come to life courtesy of the Annapolis Living Historians. Meet William Paca, his guests, and servants as they discuss what this document might mean to the Colony of Maryland and their future.

Visit Hogshead and meet colonial tradespeople and learn how the signing of the Declaration might affect them. See a carpenter at work and sew a stitch in the John Shaw Flag!
