SUMMARY:Maryland Day Liberty Tree Kickoff Event
DESCRIPTION:On March 25th\, join Historic Annapolis and the Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area at the William Paca House & Garden when we plant a seedling grown from the only surviving genetically identical Liberty Tree scion in the United States—descended from Maryland’s original 1775 Liberty Tree in Annapolis. The first to be planted as part of this 250th initiative\, by the end of this historic Semi-Q year\, a Liberty Tree will be planted in each of Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City.\n \nThe day will begin with a brief ceremony from 11 – 11:30 am\, followed by an open house reception until 2 pm on the terrace of the William Paca House & Garden with light refreshments.\n \nThe Liberty Tree is one of the most powerful and enduring symbols of American resistance\, community action\, and shared civic responsibility. From its origins in Boston protests against the Stamp Act to its adoption across the colonies\, the Liberty Tree became a living emblem of liberty itself. In Maryland\, the Liberty Tree selected by the citizens of Annapolis in September 1775 survived the Revolutionary era and remains central to this story today through its living scion.\n \nThis is a partnership between the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR)\, Preservation Maryland\, and the Maryland Center for History and Culture\, with support from the Maryland250 Commission\, working alongside heritage areas\, local governments\, community organizations\, and site stewards. It aligns with Maryland’s 5 Million Trees Initiative\, pairing historic commemoration with long-term environmental stewardship.
