Colonial Founding Fathers, Annapolis gentry, renowned portrait artists, and regular folk, too, were all up to their tricks! There was a little revenge, murders, spying, drinking, political discord, and pleasures of the night.
The tour ends at the Rams Head Tavern for a drink [optional, not included in tour] and to learn how a pair of antique bed posts got jammed into the ceiling over the bar
