The "Maryland StateHouse" is an emblematic building for the American people, built in 1772 by Josef Horatio Anderson, it has the title of having the largest wooden vault built without nails in the nation.
The State of Maryland was during 1783-1784 the capital of the confederation in its first period of peace and used this building as the seat of Congress.
Here George Washington resigned as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, ending the War of Independence.
As curious notes, it should be mentioned that the first lightning rod invented by Benjamin Franklin was placed in its dome.
The nickname of "The old line State" comes from the troops commanded by Washington who established their front there, as the last frontier of the Continental Army in its fight for independence against England.
"The Wye Oak" or white oak, official State tree since 1941, was struck by lightning on June 6, 2002, had more than 460 years of history and was purchased by the State Governor in 1939 to preserve it over time for its historical value.
