Unveiling the Old Treasury Buildings Rich History: From Colonial Cash to Modern Museum - This episode delves into the fascinating history of the Old Treasury Building in Annapolis, built in 1737, which once housed colonial cash and state funds. Despite tight security and thick brick walls, thieves managed to break in at least four times, with the most successful heist occurring in 1784. The building, funded by slave import taxes, now serves as a free museum offering exhibits on its past, replica furniture, and early security measures. Visitors can explore the colonial vibes during self-guided tours, closed only on Christmas and New Years.
