Queer Annapolis: A Historical Walking Tour of Love, Resistance, and Community
Advertisement
Long before the Stonewall Uprising, and far beyond New York and California, queer people have lived, loved, and shaped American history. From the nation’s earliest days, LGBTQ+ individuals have been part of Maryland’s story, even when their lives were pushed into the shadows. This guided walking tour explores over three hundred years of LGBTQ+ history, pairing familiar landmarks with often-overlooked stories: from a Revolutionary War general to an African American schoolteacher. Join historian Dr. Chris Mielke as we honor those who challenged norms, built community, and were brave enough to be themselves.
The tour will begin at The People’s Park at 44 Calvert Street and end at the Museum of Historic Annapolis at 99 Main Street. At the conclusion of the tour, a small reception will be held at the Museum, featuring light refreshments and an opportunity to continue the conversation.
This program is sponsored by our friends at Annapolis Pride, celebrating, advocating, & empowering the LGBTQ+ community in Annapolis and its surrounding areas. Learn more at https://www.annapolispride.org
Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, as the tour is held rain or shine. The tour route is approximately 1.25 miles long and includes elevation changes and uneven walking surfaces.
Advance registration required; space is limited. Recommended for ages 13+.
Cost: $20 General Admission; $15 for HA Members, HA Volunteers, Military, and Children 13 and up
