Home to the colony’s first (and later third) governor, the Leonard Calvert House was one of the largest wooden structures in colonial Maryland that, at varying times, also functioned as a statehouse, an ordinary, and the fortified center of a short-lived rebellion. Join Historic St. Mary’s City Director of Research and Collections Travis Parno to learn about the history of this important site, reviewing the results of nearly 40 years of on-site archaeology and examining some of Historic St. Mary’s City’s recent research into the property’s rich history.
