Completed in 1779, the Maryland State House is steeped in American history. It is where George Washington came to tender his resignation as commander in chief of the Continental Army in 1783.
It also served as the location for the ratification of the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. The Maryland General Assembly convenes in the Maryland State House for three months each year, making it the only functioning building from colonial times still remaining.
The building is also home to the governor’s office, as well as the president of the Senate and many others public officials. The State House offers self-guided tours (please call ahead). There are numerous memorials and plaques on the grounds, and in 1960 the State House was designated a National Historic Landmark.
