Friday & Saturday, November 7 & 8 - Annapolis by Candlelight

Historic District of Annapolis
Historic private homes throughout the Annapolis Historic District are showcased in this annual candlelit walking tour. For the Charter 300 year we plan to invite visitors to step into some of the finest homes from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries that have been featured in the 18 years of Annapolis by Candlelight tours. Nearly 250 volunteers are needed to staff this event and all assistance with volunteer recruitment is welcome. The Preservation and Education staff is also looking for recommendations of homes to be featured on the tour and will welcome contact information of homeowners whose homes may be featured. To volunteer contact Jennifer Orrigo, Director of Preservation, 410 990-4754, Jennifer.orrigo@annapolis.org.
