100 State Cir
Annapolis, MD 21401

The Maryland State House stands as 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 capital. It is a site of historical significance, where the Continental Congress met and notable events such as George Washington's resignation as commander-in-chief took place.

This architectural treasure hosts the Maryland General Assembly for three months each year, serving as the main office for the state's elected leadership, including the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the House of Delegates, and president of the Senate. Visitors can explore its rich history, artwork, and memorials through a beautifully illustrated guide, celebrating 250 years of the Maryland State House.
