Maryland State Government

The Maryland State House, located in Annapolis, is the oldest state capitol still in continuous legislative use and holds the distinction of being the only state house to have served as the nation's capitol. Notably, it was the site where the Continental Congress convened, witnessing significant historical events such as George Washington's resignation and the ratification of the Treaty of Paris.

This historic building serves as the meeting place for the Maryland General Assembly and houses the offices of the state's elected leadership, including the governor and the presiding officers of the legislature. With a rich architectural heritage and a collection of historical artwork, the State House stands as a testament to Maryland's storied past.
