A lantern bobbing in the night leads you across cobblestones as salt-tinged air from the Chesapeake slips between narrow brick facades. The Federal House on Market Space makes a tidy meeting point; from there the guide threads the group through a compact mile of alleys, taverns, and Georgian mansions where footsteps echo differently after dark.
