Eastport, the charming community that is neighbor to Annapolis, is hosting its 4th Home and Garden Tour Sunday from 1-5 p.m.

“Our home and garden tour gives folks a chance to step inside and see the surprises behind the doors of Annapolis’ most diverse neighborhood, ” says Phyllis Emmett, tour chair.

“Participants will stroll through an array of unique homes and gardens including the old Eastport firehouse circa 1910; the former residence of Capt. Herb Sadler, a waterman who sold his catch in front of his home back in the ‘olden days;’ and the first house on the Eastport Peninsula to have an indoor bathroom. Homes like these highlight the extraordinary maritime culture of our historic neighborhood.”

This year’s tour will have a new twist. More than 20 artists from the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association will attend to paint the scenes along the tour route en plein air, creating works in oil, watercolor, acrylic or pastel. At the end of the tour completed works will be available for purchase.

The "show and sale" will take place at the tour headquarters on 222 Severn Ave between Second & Third Streets between Chesapeake and Severn Avenues.  

Tickets are $20. To purchase tickets, go to the Eastport Civic Association Web site
