Thomas Jefferson Returns to Annapolis!

On the weekend of March 9 and 10, Historic Annapolis will once again welcome Thomas Jefferson to Annapolis. During three unique events, guests will have the opportunity to get to know the man who did so much to shape our country. Thomas Jefferson will be portrayed by William "Bill" Barker, known as the quintessential Thomas Jefferson. His resemblance to Jefferson is uncanny and his knowledge of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution is second to none. To see a video of Mr. Barker's performance, click here.
