History buffs will want to see the Maryland State House, the oldest state house in con- tinuous legislative use in the nation. It was here that then General George Washington appeared before the Continental Congress to resign his commission as Commander- in-Chief of the Continental Army, and that the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War was ratified.
The homes of all four Maryland signers of the Declaration of Independence are locat- ed in Annapolis, and three of them are open to the public. A visit to the home of signer William Paca includes a tour of his two-acre, 18th century garden.
Frances Scott Key was married in the parlor of the Chase-Lloyd House that was built for Declaration of Independence signer Samuel Chase. This Maryland Avenue home is located across the street from the Hammond-Harwood House. Built in 1774, the five-part Georgian mansion features the “Most Beautiful Doorway in America,” and inside lies what is considered to be one of the finest collections of 18th century deco- rative and fine arts in America.
Historic destinations offer so much more than history alone. And though these ven- ues and locations provide a glimpse into this nation’s great past, they also act as a window to a bright future. These are places where the meetings of past scholars and leaders converge with the decision makers and business professionals of today.
At these sites, groups have a chance to become immersed in surroundings that have been historically significant, but that provide all the tools necessary for planners to create a memorable and noteworthy group experience for today’s attendees.
