In this state house, oldest in the nation still in legislative use, General George Washington resigned his commission before the Continental Congress December 23, 1783.

From here, September 14, 1786, the Annapolis Convention issued the call to the states that led to the Constitutional Convention.
OTHER TIDBITS: Did you know that the Maryland General Assembly only meets here for three months out of the year? Don’t worry, they still have office hours if you need to talk to your elected representative! |
