SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - Crafting the Golden Age: The Architectural World of Pre-Revolutionary Annapolis
DESCRIPTION:Annapolis today stands as a testament to its many layers of history\, with four centuries of buildings standing side by side throughout the city. In honor of preservation month\, this talk highlights Annapolis’ architectural landscape in the 1700s.   \nThe years prior to the Revolutionary War were a time of vast economic growth and opportunity encompassing all levels of Annapolis society. The changing urban landscape reflected the dramatic rise of new buildings creating distinct areas of commercial\, speculative\, and private spheres. In her richly illustrated lecture\, Marcia Miller explores the many connections between the built environment and those who lived\, worked\, and labored in pre-Revolutionary Annapolis. \nThe Historic Annapolis 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.  \nCan’t watch live? All lectures will be recorded. Please register and you’ll receive the link to watch the recording after the event. \nAdvance registration required; registration closes on half-hour prior to lecture.  \nCost: FREE \n \nThis lecture will be offered virtually by Zoom. Upon registration\, you will be sent the link for the video conference to join on the evening of the lecture. If you do not receive your confirmation email after you register\, please check your Spam folder\, or email Cara Garside at cara.garside@annapolis.org. To learn more about Zoom and to download the app to your computer\, visit the Zoom website. \n  \nAbout Our Presenter: Marcia Miller recently retired as the head of the Office of Research\, Survey and Registration for the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT)\, where she oversaw the documentation of Maryland’s historic and cultural resources. Throughout her thirty-five-year career at MHT\, Marcia conducted numerous architectural investigations and provided critical oversight of restorations of the state’s most important architectural landmarks such as the Maryland State House\, the Old Treasury Building\, and the Brice House. She has served on advisory committees for landmark buildings across the state and on the Board of the Vernacular Architecture Forum. \nSince completing her master’s thesis on the Chase-Lloyd House in Annapolis\, Marcia has continued to research the craftsmen and builders of early Maryland. Much of her work has focused on the complex interplay of designers\, craftsmen\, and clients in Annapolis\, and how their dwellings fit into a larger trans-Atlantic narrative. She co-edited Architecture in Annapolis: A Field Guide with Orlando Ridout V and has lectured widely on the city’s architectural legacy. \n  \nThe information contained in the HA Virtual Lecture series represents the historical research\, views and opinions of the lecture presenter and may not represent the views or opinions of Historic Annapolis\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime: Mommy Time
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime is a fun hour full of reading and activities in the William Paca Garden\, a secret treasure in the Historic District of Annapolis. Each program is designed for little ones\, 3-7 years\, with a book reading\, song\, and craft/art project\, plus time to explore the Paca Garden following the story hour. \nMommy Time by Monique James-Duncan\nRollicking rhyme and playful illustrations record a day in the life of two rambunctious children and their stay-at-home mother. As fun as it is being a kid\, it can be hard work being a mom. When Dad heads to his job\, the joyful chaos of getting ready for the day begins. To the children\, that day is a happy blur of school and playdates\, singing and dancing\, supermarket walks and library stops\, bath time\, story time\, bedtime. But Mommy’s time is filled with a whole lot more sweeping\, laundry\, stinky diapers—tiring work achieved with love in her eyes and care in her smiles. An authentic catalog of precious moments in the life of an ordinary family\, this warm\, revealing story builds a bridge of empathy between parent and child and celebrates the value of “Mommy time.” \nCelebrate Mother’s Day in the garden! Join us for a song and a unique craft! \nAdvance registration required\, space is limited. \nCost: $10 per Child and $5 per Adult for General Admission; $8 per Child and Free for Adults for HA Members and Military \n \nThis program will also be held on Tuesday\, May 19. \nPlease Note: An adult must accompany their child(ren) for the entirety of the program; garden time is not supervised by staff. Activities are held outdoors on the tented terrace at the William Paca House & Garden when possible. In the event of inclement weather\, the activities will be held inside in our conference room. This program does not include snacks due to food allergies; food is not permitted in the garden. \n\nAccessibility: Visitors with limited mobility can access this program via the driveway of the Paca House.
