Tour Annapolis with a period dressed guide on this unique walking tour that explores African American heritage. African Americans have, for over 300 years, comprised a significant portion of the population of the state of Maryland, our country and the city of Annapolis. During colonial times, the labor of both slaves and free blacks was the cornerstone upon which the tobacco economy was built. In the nineteenth century, Maryland was home to more free African Americans than any other state. Twentieth century Maryland continues to grow because of the important contributions made by her African American citizens.
Annapolis is a microcosm of Maryland African American heritage, a long hidden treasure reflecting this important facet of our history and culture. Annapolis Tours by Watermark offers visitors an opportunity to explore "Another Side of the Story," an African American Heritage Tour. Trace the rich and authentic journey of African Americans in Maryland exploring their global contributions. This black history tour ends at the Banneker-Douglass Museum where you’ll have an opportunity to tour the museum at your leisure. When choosing from different African American tours, Watermark’s African American Heritage Tour tells the important story of what life was like for African Americans in one of country’s first towns.
