The Maryland State Quarter The Maryland Statehouse is embedded in this country's history. From 1783 to 1784 it served as the first peace-time capital of the United States. The Treaty of Paris was also signed here putting an "official" end to the Revolutionary War. Oak clusters, representing the official state tree, and a state nickname, "The Old Line State." complete the design for the Maryland State Quarter.

of the historic Maryland Statehouse, a building that dates back
to 1772. The Statehouse hosts the country's largest wooden dome built
without nails. It is also the oldest state capital building
in the country that is still in use by the legislature.
