William Paca House Conference Room, 186 Prince George Street
Bound laborers made up a sizable proportion of colonial Annapolis’s population and helped to make the city’s so-called “Golden Age” possible. Historians Jean Russo and Glenn E. Campbell talk about the slaves, indentured servants, and convict servants who lived and worked in 18th-century Annapolis, and living history re-enactor Scotti Preston offers insights on interpreting slavery in the elite Paca household to modern audiences. What do runaway and sale ads and family wills and inventories tell us about the people who were considered property by others?
The lecture will be repeated at 7:00 p.m. the same day.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Free, but reservations are required. Call 410-267-8146 with your choice of time. Wednesday, February 17, 2010
William Paca House Conference Room, 186 Prince George Street
Completing the daily tasks necessary to the proper functioning of a genteel colonial Annapolis household was no small feat. Heather Ersts, Vice President of Collections and Interpretation, describes the details of everyday life in William and Mary Paca’s home, and living history re-enactor Scotti Preston demonstrates how one of their slaves might have gone about her daily chores. What mundane work went on behind-the-scenes in the Pacas’ fine Georgian mansion?
The lecture will be repeated at 7:00 p.m. the same day.
