Orlando Ridout V Memorial Lecture

Historic Annapolis and the Maryland Historical Trust invite you to attend the 2025 Orlando Ridout V Memorial Lecture at the Governor Calvert House. The lecture is free, but reservations are required, and we thank you for considering a donation when you register to support this lecture series.

This year, we are pleased to welcome Philadelphia Museum of Art curator Alexandra Alevizatos Kirtley to present Maryland x Philadelphia: Artistic and Cultural Exchange in the Revolutionary Period.

The trade and exchange of raw materials, manufactured goods, skilled artisans, and elite/merchant class families in the late colonial and early national periods inextricably linked Maryland and Philadelphia. In this richly illustrated lecture, the connections and shared history of Maryland and Philadelphia will be presented through surviving architecture, paintings, furniture, ceramics, and more by Philadelphia Museum of Art curator Alexandra Alevizatos Kirtley, herself a proud Marylander.

Following the lecture, a light reception will be held at the William Paca House & Garden at 186 Prince George Street.

Advance registration required.

Cost: FREE
