Beginning on Presidents Day, Feb. 18, 2013, the Maryland Inn's Crown and Crab Room will display the "America's 14 Forgotten Presidents of Congress" exhibit from the collection of the families of Samuel J. Brown, Dr. Stephen D. Brown and George E. Brown, featuring individually framed presidential "collections" that include a color portrait of that President of Congress, an exact replica (size and color) of a document signed by him, his bio and a summary of what is taking place in the document.
The 15 framed collections (including the last one representing George Washington for chronological and historical context) ring the Crown and Crab room and make for an excellent visit while touring Annapolis. Visitors will learn when each President of Congress served, where they served and what happened during their time in office--and how American history was influenced. This history includes the signing and ratification of the Treaty of Paris.
The Crown and Crab Room is located on the first level of the Maryland Inn, the first room on the left as you enter from Main Street. The room is next to the Drummer's Lot Pub and the Treaty of Paris Restaurant, pictured on the left. We invite you to see the collection, dine at the restaurant and, if you are visiting Annapolis, have a wonderful stay at the Maryland Inn.
Souvenirs of the Continental Congress period, 1774-89, can be purchased at Irish Traditions, 141 Main Street, Annapolis (410) 990-4747. Available merchandise includes books, an Annapolis Era (1783-86) DVD, posters and magnets of the Treaty of Paris Proclamation, tradings cards and pens with all 14 Presidents of Congress.
Follow our Calendar page for events we will hold in the Crown and Crab room, including the talk on Thomas Jefferson's appointment as a minister to France on May 7.
