    Maryland State House - Old Senate Chamber

    Maryland State House

    (41 reviews)

    I cannot believe it took me nearly a decade of living in Maryland to finally visit the State House…read morewhich is the oldest legislative building in North America. It easy and free to tour almost any day and it is nice to see all the history here. They have the more modern (but still historic) current chambers as well as the original historic ones open to tour. Looking forward to coming back, hopefully with friends and family.

    Only self-guided (free) tours are available. A guided tour would have been nice to hear more…read moredetails and info about the architecture. Space is limited, but perhaps they can add Maryland history beyond the Revolutionary War and snippets of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Time estimate to look at the State House and grounds: 20-40 mins. Metered parking on street around State House. You can peek into the State Assembly and State Senate rooms, plus view a few other rooms that have been reconstructed for historical accuracy. One such room is Old Senate chamber where George Washington resigned his commission as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army on December 23, 1983. There are statues and chairs that set the scene. From 1783-1784 the U.S. Congress of Confederation was housed here, and ratified the Treaty of Paris, formally ending the Revolutionary War on May 7, 1784. Just off the grounds is the Thurgood Marshall Memorial Statue, which shows Marshall as a young lawyer. A nearby bench shows Donald Gaines Murray whose entrance into the Law School of the University of Maryland marked Marshall's first important victory in his struggle for school integration. Another bench shows figures of two children representing Marshall's most important achievement, Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka et. al.

We were quite impressed by both the chapel and the crypt. Words really won't quite do it. You should see it for yourself!

You can enter the grounds free of charge after clearing a security check-point. He is credited with with having uttered the phrase "I have not yet begun to fight" in response to a quest for his surrender at the Battle of Flamborough Head during the Revolutionary War. His burial on the grounds of the U.S. Navel Academy is a complicated matter. Upon his death in 1792 he was interred in the French royal family private cemetery having gained the respect of the family while residing in France at the time. Only two years later in 1796 France's Revolutionary government sold the property and his burial on that land was forgotten. It was not until 1906 that his body was brought back to the United States and the U.S. Navel Academy under the direction of Theodore Roosevelt. The crypt has a separate entrance below the chapel of the United States Navel Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The ornate sarcophagus is covered in sculpted barnacles and is supported by legs in the shape of stylized dolphins. The sarcophagus is made of black and white marble. There is a bust of John Paul Jones and various other artifacts in this subterranean rotunda. The crypt is well done and worth seeing.
