Maryland State Government

The Maryland State House, located in Annapolis, is the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use and holds the distinction of being the only state house to have served as the nation's capitol. Notably, the Continental Congress met in its Old Senate Chamber, where significant events such as George Washington's resignation and the ratification of the Treaty of Paris took place.

This historic building serves as the meeting place for the Maryland General Assembly for three months each year, and it is home to key state leadership offices, including those of the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the House of Delegates, and president of the Senate. The Maryland State House is a testament to the state's rich history, architecture, and artwork.
