Monthly Hands-on History Days bring families together through fun, interactive activities for all ages. During your visit, experience stories shared by history interpreters, get to touch original artifacts from HA’s collection, and go on scavenger hunts through the Museum to discover more about Annapolis history. HA is also partnering with the Anne Arundel County Public Library to provide a reading space at the Museum every second Sunday, where families can engage with themed stories in our Hands-On History Book Nook. This program is the perfect opportunity for families to visit the Museum each month and have fun making discoveries, learning new things, and spending quality time together.
Every Hands-On History Day will feature special themes directly related to the Museum’s permanent exhibition, Annapolis: An American Story. Topics will spotlight the diversity of the community and share stories of Annapolis history from Indigenous people to the present day. Highlights include maritime heritage, military history, the civil rights movement, women’s suffrage, and even a special program in February called “Annapolis Love Stories.”

Join us at the Museum of Historic Annapolis at 99 Main Street every second Sunday for a special family day out! Admission on second Sundays is $5 for adults, $2.50 for children 6-17, and free for children under 6, HA members, and active-duty military.
