America's
First Peacetime Capitol and the oldest state house still in legislative use.
Completed in 1779, it was the site of nationally important events during the
American Revolution, including George Washington's resignation as commander in
chief of the Continental Army from the army, and the ratification of the Treaty
of Paris. The rich architecture and history of the building was recognized in
1960 when the State House was designated as a National Historic
Landmark.
The Maryland General Assembly convenes in the Maryland
State House for three months each year. The governor, lieutenant governor,
speaker of the House of Delegates and president of the Senate all have their
offices in the historic building.
The State House is administered by
the State House Trust which oversees the interpretation of the building as well
as its care and maintenance. The Trust also has responsibility for the use of
the public areas of the State House.
