FAQs

  • Are tours of the grounds available?

    Guided tours take 45 minutes and take place hourly on the half-hour with the first tour at 10:30 and the last tour is at 3:30. Group tours are also available if you call ahead. Note: the house is closed to tours in January.
  • What was the property before it became a landmark?

    William Paca sold the property in 1780 and it switched owners several times over the following decades. The property fell into disrepair after being a hotel for much of the 20th century. In 1965 it faced demolition, but thankfully preservationists worked hard to buy the property and restore it to its original Colonial grandeur and today it is managed by Historic Annapolis.
