Maryland State Government Family Investment Information
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. It was within these historic walls that the Continental Congress met from 1783 to 1784, witnessing significant events such as George Washington's resignation as commander-in-chief and the ratification of the Treaty of Paris, which marked the end of the Revolutionary War.
Today, the State House continues to serve a vital role in Maryland's governance as it houses the Maryland General Assembly and the offices of the state's elected leadership, including the governor and the president of the Senate. With a rich history spanning over 250 years, the Maryland State House is a testament to the state's architectural, artistic, and commemorative heritage.
