Archeologists dig deeper into 200-year history of Maryland’s Hammond-Harwood House

A team of archeologists is digging up clues of the past at the historic Hammond-Harwood House in downtown Annapolis to learn more about the life of the residents from 200 years ago. The Hammond-Harwood House on Maryland Avenue was built in 1774 and commissioned by wealthy planter and politician Mathias Hammond. It was purchased in the early 1800s by another wealthy Annapolis family whose descendants lived there for the next 100 years.
