SUMMARY:Odenton Heritage Society Open House
DESCRIPTION:As the dog days of August approach\, the Odenton Heritage Society will unveil a special display\, Dog Days: Conversations with Odenton Canines\, at our August open house. \nEarly photographs of Odenton residents and their dogs — each identified by name — have been selected from the Society’s rich collections. In this unique display\, the dogs themselves ‘tell’ the story of their daily lives and their owners’ involvement with important aspects of Odenton history\, from railroad work in 1900 to modern highways of the 1930s and local law enforcement by a Justice of the Peace. Meet these pets of the past and enjoy guided tours of the Society’s other displays about Odenton\, the town that railroads built\, led by our costumed Railroad Conductor docent. \nWe welcome visitors during our Open Houses on the first Sunday of each month from 1PM–4PM. As always\, admission and guided tours are free.   While you’re here\, please consider becoming a member — your support helps us continue our all-volunteer missions to preserve and protect the history of Odenton.

SUMMARY:150th Anniversary Celebration of the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse will celebrate its 150th anniversary this year with a special celebration on August 9\, 2025. The Anniversary Celebration is a call to action because the lighthouse faces an existential threat from sea levels rising. \nSince 2023\, the landing dock has been damaged repeatedly by numerous serious storms and higher than normal tides. Our goal is to raise the lighthouse level to ensure that this historic structure will remain for our grandchildren and great grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – The Balance of Power in Colonial Native America with Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:Native Americans did not disappear from colonial history in the 18th century. On the contrary\, throughout the 1700s\, Native Americans exerted decisive influence on the American colonies encroaching all around them. But how\, why\, and at what cost? How did Native people navigate the rapid changes to the balance of power between themselves and the surging numbers of European settlers now living on the American continent? What did life look like in the contact zones where Europeans and Natives interacted? Who were the intermediaries\, the go-betweens\, who greased the wheels of diplomacy and cooperation on the borderlands between English America and Indian Country? Why did they do that work\, and why did so many of those go-betweens end up dead? \nAdvance registration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture.  \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – Southern Slavery in Colonial America presented by Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:The first Africans had been brought to Virginia as slaves in 1619 but it wasn’t until the 1670s that slavery began to dominate parts of the American economy. That process continued apace in the 18th century transforming every aspect of most southern colonies\, from Virginia to South Carolina and Georgia. How did American law transform to codify and entrench race slavery in America in this period? How did plantation owners enforce submission and compliance and impose their will on a black\, enslaved underclass? How did they work to try to prevent widespread resistance and what ways did enslaved men and women find to fight back to preserve their dignity and culture\, or perhaps even to escape or revolt? \nThe Historic Annapolis 2025 Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. If you enjoy this program\, we hope you will consider becoming a member or making a donation today to support Historic Annapolis and our mission to connect all people with our shared history.  \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:Loyalist Ladies of Annapolis
DESCRIPTION:Loyalist Ladies of Annapolis – the King is ever our Sovereign! \nStop by Hogshead Milliner’s Shop and meet Mrs. Calvert and Mrs.Dulaney. The year is 1775\, and these refined women would never publicly express their loyalist opinions\, but you might be able to hear their actual sentiments after the merchant steps out of the shop for a moment…. \nSupporting the colonies in their defense against taxes imposed by Parliament is one thing\, but they draw the line at disloyalty to the King and seceding from Britain! \nAdmission Cost: $5 suggested donation
