Exhibit Guides
Exhibit guides love the excitement of explaining and interpreting exhibits to visitors. After training, they are experts on the exhibits, artifacts and opportunities available to visitors to explore three centuries of history in Annapolis. They inspire visitors to explore, discover, and help to preserve the history of our area – and their own hometown.
