Did you know that the Maryland Statehouse was the capitol building of the United States for a year at the end of yhe Revolutionary War?

I did not.

This humble room is where George Washington resigned his commission to the United States Congress.

Washington could have been King, but he chose to return to his farm.

Napoleon would later write in his journal that France wanted him to be George Washington, but he could never be Washington. He could never give up power.
