Annapolis Tapestries

Annapolis Tapestries is an historic community project providing social, cultural, artistic, and educational benefits for the citizens of Annapolis, project participants, and the City's many visitors. Far more than mere pictures of the City’s history, Annapolis Tapestries' needlepoint images weave together significant events and people that shaped the City’s development into one-of-a-kind, storytelling visuals.

Garden and Women's History

Historian Barbara Sarudy has several blogs of interest. The geographic range for all of them is either the mainland British colonies or the present United States, but in addition to material drawn from local sources, much of the content deals with broad cultural topics that encompass this area. One focuses on 18th-century gardens and the other three on women in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
