During your walking tour in Historic Annapolis, you’ll hear scandalous anecdotes and jaw-dropping tales about what went on inside Annapolis’ famed homes and taverns. Colonial Founding Fathers, Annapolis gentry, renowned portrait artists, and regular folk, too, were all up to their tricks! There was revenge, murder, spying, drinking, political discord, and pleasures of the night.

United States Naval Academy (Pass by)
On an October night in, 1907, Lieutenant James Sutton, a student at the Naval Academy, got into a fight with some other young officers. He ran a short distance to his tent with two pistols. Sutton fired a couple of shots before being wrestled to the ground. The men later told investigators that Sutton felt remorse for his misconduct and pulled a pistol out from under his body and shot himself in the head. Sutton also had a dent in one side of his skull that never got explained, and he didn't bleed from the gunshot, which caused his mother to conclude that her son was dead or dying by the time the shot was fired. Rosa Sutton said her son's ghost visited her at the family home in Oregon, and told her he had been murdered.
