Reynold's Tavern dates from 1747 and archaeological remains excavated by Archaeology in Annapolis during the 1980s can be seen in a special case mounted in the foyer. The Calvert House Hotel is built over the home of the Calverts on State Circle. Many of the prize artifacts from the excavation done in the 1980s are on display on the main floor.
