This was a very well done small tour through a well furnished home of the 1700's. Information about this important Maryland family was well presented and tour length at about 30 minutes was just right. The accompanying grounds are lovely and should also be toured on your own.

Take a tour through the house with a re-enactor and learn more about the Paca family and the birth of our nation. So much history in Annapolis! Well worth the price.

So much in Annapolis is free, we were surprised when they charged a fee to tour the house and a separate fee to tour the gardens.

We toured the William Paca House/Gardens on a cloudy day,but it didn't spoil our tour. The tour guide ( a lady from Texas) was very knowledgeable and kept the tour moving (50 minutes) with lots of good information about this Maryland patriot and signer of the Declaration of Independence. It was well-paced and full of interesting information.
