SUMMARY:Tavern Talk & Tea\, The Burning of the Peggy Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Join the Friends of the Rising Sun Inn on October 19\, 2024\, at 1:00PM for a Tavern Talk and Tea as we mark the 250th Anniversary of the Burning of the Peggy Stewart\, Annapolis’s own Revolutionary War Tea Party! Enjoy an Afternoon Tea with local volunteer\, Don Bailey\, as the Friends celebrate this very special 250th anniversary commemorating the Maryland Colonies march to the Revolution. \nThe colonists were fighting against taxes being levied on them by King George III.

Here their story and Maryland’s march to Revolution. \nTickets are $48.00 per person and include an Afternoon Tea (sandwiches\, sweets\, and tea)\, with of course an American Tea\, and presentation by local volunteer\, Don Bailey. \n$53.07 per person \n

SUMMARY:250th Anniversary of the Burning of the Peggy Stewart

Stop in at the Waterfront Warehouse\, the Shiplap House and Hogshead and encounter local sailors\, merchants and business owners and discover what they thought of this historic event.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – Burning of the Peggy Stewart: “Maryland’s Tea Party”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 250th anniversary celebration of a historic moment in Annapolis history! \nOn October 15\, 1774\, eleven months after the Sons of Liberty protested the Tea Act by dumping British East India Company tea into Boston harbor on December 13\, 1773\, Maryland patriots held their own “tea party.” This lecture describes why and how Maryland patriot leaders convinced Annapolis merchant Anthony Stewart to destroy his own ship\, the PEGGY STEWART\, in Annapolis harbor to prevent its cargo of tea from being landed and taxed. The incident demonstrated that resistance to British colonial policies was not confined to New England and had some surprising results. \nRegistration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture. \nCost: $15 per household for General Admission; $10 per household for HA Members\, Military\, and HA Docents

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk and Tour with Author\, Richard Striner
DESCRIPTION:Join the Friends of the Rising Sun Inn as they celebrate the birthday of President and General Dwight D. Eisenhower on Sunday\, October 13\, 2024\, when we welcome author\, Richard Striner with his book\, Ike in Love and War. \nPresident Eisenhower was born October 14\, 1890\, and this new book sheds light on his Personal Conflicts and How He Overcame them to Achieve Greatness. Behind the demeanor that made Dwight D. Eisenhower so popular was a cold-as-steel intelligence that kept his country prosperous and out of danger. Because his operating methods were so deeply hidden\, it is only in the past few decades that historians have grasped the full extent of his achievements. Ike in Love and War shows the hidden sacrifices that made Eisenhower remarkable. It probes the mission that was driving him: the quest to reconcile his skill as a fighter with his mother’s pacifism\, which led him to become the greatest peacekeeper of his age. It also probes his haunted quest for love. Perhaps his greatest sacrifice was leaving the woman who was probably the love of his life\, thus making him one of the great tragic heroes in our history. \nRegister here\, or to avoid service fees\, email ContactUs@RisingSunInn.Org for alternative payment methods.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT – Peggy Stewart House Tour: An Exclusive Opportunity!
DESCRIPTION:Join Historic Annapolis for a rare opportunity to tour the privately-owned Peggy Stewart House! \nIn October 1774\, the people of Annapolis discovered that the brigantine\, the Peggy Stewart\, contained contraband tea that violated the colonists’ non-importation resolution. In response to public outrage\, ship owner Anthony Stewart was forced to burn the Peggy Stewart with the tea onboard down to the waterline – with sails and colors still flying! The dramatic burning of the Peggy Stewart heightened the divide between American patriots from those loyal to the King. \nVisitors will get a behind the scenes look at the 1760’s Georgian home once occupied by Anthony Stewart that was at the center of conflict. Learn more about other notable occupants and how the Revolution unfolded in Annapolis through this special tour\, which shares the details of this pivotal moment in American history. \nAdvance registration required; space is limited. \nCost: $20 General Admission; $15 for HA Members and Volunteers\, Military\, and Children (17 and under)
