What's in the
Community Gallery?

The Power of One: 250 Years of Changemakers

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, this gallery shares a diverse collection of under-told stories of individuals who transformed Annapolis from a colonial capital to a vibrant, inclusive community, exemplifying what it means to be both an Annapolitan and an American. Their vision, determination, and spirit helped to break down barriers, instill progress, serve and educate others, and preserve our past for future generations.

As we reflect on our nation’s 250-year journey, each story invites us to consider the revolutionary power within ourselves and how we can bring positive and effective change to our communities and nation.

On display through December 31, 2026.

This exhibit was developed by Historic Annapolis, Inc. and financed in part with State funds from the Maryland 250 Commission, an instrumentality of the State of Maryland. Project contents or opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the State or Maryland 250 Commission.
