Guests visiting Annapolis, and even residents, enjoy this 18th century Georgian mansion built by William Paca. Paca was a three-term governor of Maryland, as well as a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The architecture of the home was designed largely by Paca himself. Construction of the two-story home with a 2-acre walled garden lasted from 1763-1765. Although many changes were made to the home over the two and a half centuries of its existence, it has since been restored to its original state.

Guided tours of the home take place hourly, on the half hour, and last roughly 40 minutes each. Visitors may feel free to tour the garden at their own pace and leisure. Admission to the National Historic Landmark is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors, youth between the ages of 6 and 17 get in for $5, and children 5 and under are free. If you wish to tour the garden only, admission is $7 for all ages.
