enVISIONing Annapolis Conversations Series
Trapped in Time: Is Annapolis History?
Tuesday, February 26
7 p.m.
Annapolis, at the vanguard of historic preservation for over 50 years, reaps many benefits from heritage tourism as an economic mainstay. Meanwhile, the historic core today supports more souvenir shops and vacant second-story spaces than it can sustain. In their Conversation, Howard Mansfield, author of The Same Ax Twice: Restoration and Renewal in a Throw-Away Age, and Paul Byard, Architect, Lawyer, Director of Preservation Program, at Columbia University, will explore the role of preservation and history in the 21st-century city: Is heritage passé? Does preservation lead to "fossilized" city centers that are ill-equipped to deal with modern urban life? What tactics can we employ to simultaneously save and modernize Annapolis into the 21st century?
Free at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, 801 Chase Street. More information.
Annapolis Maritime Museum Winter Maritime Seminar Series
The Key to Annapolis History
Thursday, February 28
7 p.m.
This slightly irreverent view of 400 years of Annapolis history from the waterside perspective by Jeff Holland, Director of the Annapolis Maritime Museum, ties Annapolis in its “Golden Age” as a major tobacco-trading port to Annapolis as “America’s Sailing Capital.” And it’s all because the harbor’s only 12 feet deep.
At Annapolis Maritime Museum's Barge House, Second Street at Back Creek.
