Of all the historic homes in Annapolis, the Hammond-Harwood House is perhaps the finest. The classic Georgian archicture by William Buckland is magnificent as are the home's art collections. The house is named for two familes, but exhibits include pieces from each of the home's three centuries. The fine art collection is one of Maryland's finest, and the collection of 18th-century furniture, handicrafts and textiles is impressive. Tours of the home last about 45 minutes.
