The Paca House and Garden is a historic Georgian mansion built in the 1760s for William Paca, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The house has been meticulously restored to reflect its 18th-century elegance, with period furnishings and decorative arts. The highlight is the two-acre pleasure garden, a stunning example of colonial horticulture featuring terraced lawns, a fish-shaped pond, and a summer house. Visitors can tour the mansion's rooms, stroll through the garden's geometric parterres, and learn about daily life in colonial Annapolis. The site offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.
