Overview
The Maryland State House is the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use and a National Historic Landmark, completed in 1779. It served as the U.S. Capitol from 1783 to 1784, when George Washington resigned his military commission and the Treaty of Paris was ratified. It has a large wooden dome, the Old Senate Chamber, and statues of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, with self-guided tours daily.
