The 1779 capitol—where the nation’s first peacetime congress met.

Maryland State House is a historic site in Annapolis, Maryland, an NPS Network to Freedom. The 1779 capitol—where the nation’s first peacetime congress met. The archive files it under Underground Railroad history, the Underground Railroad and African American history. The dossier holds 3 documented facts — the record is history-forward, no paranormal claims on file. The site is open to visitors.

The Maryland State House was finished in 1779 — the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use, the building where Congress met as the nation's capital in 1783-84, where Washington resigned his commission and the Treaty of Paris was ratified, ending the Revolution.
The file's documented spine is the building's constitutional register: the room where the general gave back his power — the single most important act in American civil-military history — happened in the Old Senate Chamber that's still there.

THE ROOM WHERE POWER WAS RETURNED
The file's legend layer is empty — the State House's claim is its documented moments: Washington's resignation, the treaty ratified, a nation learning that power could be handed back. The wooden dome is the file's architecture — still the largest in America built without nails.
The Network to Freedom listing is the file's second register — the capitol's ground documented for the freedom struggle's presence amid the constitutional glory.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The State House is the archive's constitutional file — the oldest working capitol, where Washington resigned and the war officially ended. The empty legend layer is the register: the documented moments need no ghosts.
A building where power was given back keeps that room — the file's suggestion being that the Old Senate Chamber holds the Republic's best moment.
