SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – Music of the “Ancient and Honorable Tuesday Club of Annapolis” (1745-1756)
DESCRIPTION:Annapolis wasn’t necessarily the most exciting place culturally in the middle of the 18th century\, so a group of mostly Scottish immigrants decided to make things happen.  They formed a gentlemen’s club\, held bi-monthly meetings for over ten years\, and left us with a rich and often comical account of their goings-on.  Music (and also rum punch\, of course) was central to these gatherings at private homes and taverns such as Middleton’s\, and the ministers\, merchants\, doctors and other club members and guests often composed their own for their gatherings.  Join Dr. David Hildebrand as he discusses\, sings\, plays and cues up images and recordings of Tuesday Club music — you’ll marvel at the silliness that survives down the centuries (and you may also learn \n David Hildebrand\na bit about what was heard in town at this time at the dancing rooms\, theater\, out in the tobacco fields\, and at St. Anne’s Church)!

SUMMARY:Kick-off event to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of our Nation’s founding
DESCRIPTION:Join the Annapolis 250 Commission\, the Maryland 250 \nCommission\, and Chesapeake Crossroads\n April 18\, 2025  (7:15-8:15pm)\nOn Maryland Ave. & State Circle at Lawyer’s Mall\n(All attendees are encouraged to bring their own lanterns or lights!)\nJoin us for this free event to highlight the 250th Anniversary of our Nation’s founding. We will commemorate Paul Revere’s infamous ride along Maryland Avenue starting at 7:15. Revere will arrive at the State House stairs at 7:45pm– and tell  Maryland’s Patriots they should immediately place their two lights up in the State House Dome to help spread the word of the impending arrival of British Regulars by sea. Attention will then turn to Lawyer’s Mall\, where representatives from the Annapolis 250 &  MD 250 Commissions share celebrations\, events and programs planned across our City\, County & State in the coming year. The lanterns will be posted atop the State House Dome at 8:00pm\, and the City’s own Poet Laureate Jefferson Holland will then read Wadsworth’s poem “The Ride of Paul Revere. ” The event will end  by 8:15pm.  \nOne Nation! Two Lights! Three Nights! \nWe encourage participation over three nights of April 18\, 19\, and 20\, 2025\, at as many locations as possible\, illuminating homes and businesses with two lights over the weekend to draw attention to the start of a year-plus long celebration of the Semiquincentennial – America’s 250th.  The lights commemorate the well-known ride of Paul Revere and other Sons of Liberty as they signaled the approach of British troops by sea and remind us of the “shot heard round the world\,” with the Battles of Lexington and Concord which occurred on April 19\, 1775\, and marked the start of the American Revolutionary War. The lights are also a symbol of a united future\, and can serve as a reminder of all Marylander’s who cherish and aspire to protect and preserve their rights to life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness.  The evening’s presentation will kick off a series of events and programs throughout 2025 and 2026 that honors our nation’s history and its founding.  \nAttend the Friday evening event\, and bring your own lantern or light; If you can’t join us\, place two lights on your home or business\, and share pictures on social media; Tag them with #TwoLightsForTomorrow \,  #MD250 \, and #Annapolis250. \n“Two Lights for Tomorrow” is symbolic of American vigilance\, preparedness\, and the spirit of community that defines our nation. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought for our liberty and independence. By participating\, you will join that national tapestry of remembrance and patriotism. Citizens are encouraged to reflect on what freedom means to each of us\, consider their civic duty in today’s world\, and learn more about the sacrifices. Spread the word and help illuminate the freedoms we as Americans have treasured and protected for 250 years.  \nSpecial thanks to the Maryland State House Trust and the Maryland State Archives for supporting this program. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – The Origins of American Slavery
DESCRIPTION:How and why did slavery begin in North America? It’s an incredibly important question\, as America’s embrace of racial slavery as a major labor system is an event which has colored the development of this continent ever since. How were traditional practices of enslavement in Africa and Europe similar to and different from the system of subordination elaborated in the Caribbean and the southern mainland colonies during the 1600s? Why did early experiments there with white indentured servitude fail or fall short? What role did cash crops like sugar\, tobacco\, and rice play in places like Jamaica\, Virginia\, and South Carolina? And what was the experience of enslavement and coerced migration like for people forced to make the infamous ‘middle passage’ from Africa to America?  Registration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture. \nAdvance registration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture.  \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:Annearrundell County Free School Museum Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Annearrundell County Free School was established in 1723. It is perhaps the oldest remaining one-room schoolhouse in Maryland. Guests of all ages visiting the Free School Museum can experience educational practices from the 1700’s\, when books and paper were scarce\, and educational practices from the 1800’s\, when Reading\, Writing\, and Arithmetic were the basics of the curriculum. The Free School Museum has several displays\, including artifacts found on the property\, a collection of textbooks used over 150 years ago\, and toys that children might have played with in colonial times. The site has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.
