It's right on a residential street with a big mulberry tree. I believe tours were on the hour and we arrived more than half an hour early, but they have a nice exhibit on Paca and the other signers, and he had an expansive garden to walk through. There was also a TV outside with a video which I thought was part of the tour so didn't watch but it was additional information. The garden had a bridge over a small creek, it is actually pretty picturesque. Our tour guide took us through a lot of the house and was very knowledgeable. We saw a variety of rooms from the kitchen to the more public socializing spaces to the bedrooms. I didn't know a lot about William Paca but the guide was thorough with the tour which was about an hour. It was an enjoyable visit. Too bad no gift shop for souvenirs.

Time estimate to look at the State House and grounds: 20-40 mins. Metered parking on street around State House. You can peek into the State Assembly and State Senate rooms, plus view a few other rooms that have been reconstructed for historical accuracy. One such room is Old Senate chamber where George Washington resigned his commission as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army on December 23, 1983. There are statues and chairs that set the scene. From 1783-1784 the U.S. Congress of Confederation was housed here, and ratified the Treaty of Paris, formally ending the Revolutionary War on May 7, 1784. Just off the grounds is the Thurgood Marshall Memorial Statue, which shows Marshall as a young lawyer. A nearby bench shows Donald Gaines Murray whose entrance into the Law School of the University of Maryland marked Marshall's first important victory in his struggle for school integration. Another bench shows figures of two children representing Marshall's most important achievement, Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka et. al.

You can enter the grounds free of charge after clearing a security check-point. He is credited with with having uttered the phrase "I have not yet begun to fight" in response to a quest for his surrender at the Battle of Flamborough Head during the Revolutionary War. His burial on the grounds of the U.S. Navel Academy is a complicated matter. Upon his death in 1792 he was interred in the French royal family private cemetery having gained the respect of the family while residing in France at the time. Only two years later in 1796 France's Revolutionary government sold the property and his burial on that land was forgotten. It was not until 1906 that his body was brought back to the United States and the U.S. Navel Academy under the direction of Theodore Roosevelt. The crypt has a separate entrance below the chapel of the United States Navel Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The ornate sarcophagus is covered in sculpted barnacles and is supported by legs in the shape of stylized dolphins. The sarcophagus is made of black and white marble. There is a bust of John Paul Jones and various other artifacts in this subterranean rotunda. The crypt is well done and worth seeing.

I ended up chatting with them for a while before I left. This is a fairly new museum, so I don't know why Yelp has it attached to some reviews from 2018 that must reference a different museum. The visit starts off with an introductory video. From there you can head up the stairs to see 2 more floors of exhibits. It's a small building so it's not a lot of space. But the space is filled with lots of cool artifacts and information chronicling the history of Annapolis. I didn't even know it was once the capital of the country. I like that the museum doesn't gloss over the part slavery played in Maryland history. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Annapolis.
