On Sunday, July 11, the beginnings of the American Revolution came to Historic London Town and Gardens.  Over 200 visitors enjoyed live cannon fire by Ships Company, participated in militia drills, learned about hearth cooking, played colonial games, and toured the William Brown House while interacting with 1st-person interpreters.  Additionally, Annapolis Ice Cream Company gave out free scoops of ice cream to our visitors.  The demand was so much that all of it was gone by 2:30pm.

     This event was successful due to the large numbers of volunteers who helped interpret London Town's history and stories to the public.  The London Town Foundation thanks them for their invaluable service.

     Our next large living history event will be Sunday, November 7, when we explore the market and trades aspect of the colonial Chesapeake.

School is about to begin in just a few short weeks.  We are booking field trips for the Fall and Spring seasons.  We are doing our best to accommodate each individual school and teacher's schedule and objectives.  Please call soon to book your field trip! 

All of our programs are hands-on, allowing kids to experience Maryland's colonial history, participate at one of Maryland's largest on-going archaeological excavations, learn about colonial foodways, explore the interdependence of plants and animals in our 8-acre Woodland Garden, and learn how we know what we know about the African Americans who lived and built London Town.
