“The Jewel of Annapolis”

Built for the 25-year-old tobacco planter Matthias Hammond, and contains information on collections, events, and field trips with a gift shop located at Annapolis. Hammond-Harwood House is the Jewel of Annapolis, the grandest Colonial house in the historic town, preserved intact since 1774. In addition to its magnificent, perfectly preserved architecture inside and out, this National Historic Landmark contains an outstanding collection of John Shaw furniture and Charles Willson Peale paintings. We are open for walk-in tours Tuesday-Sunday, noon to 5:00pm.
