The 4th of July at the Paca House and Gardens, Historic Annapolis

      Spent my 4th of July at the Paca House and Gardens in Historic Annapolis with the Annapolis Living Historians.  It was 1776 again!

     Mr. Paca is just back from Philadelphia after the delegates agreed that they would sign a declaration to King George III to separate from Great Britian.  In July 1776, Mr. Paca did not return to Annapolis on the 4th; however, for our interpretation, we have him in his home.  Here are some photos from the event!
