The Banneker-Douglass Museum, named for Benjamin Banneker and Frederick Douglass, is dedicated to preserving Maryland's African American heritage and serves as the state's official repository of African American material culture. The museum was dedicated on February 24, 1984. The original museum was housed within the former Mount Moriah African Methodist Episcopal Church in the heart of historic Annapolis. The Victorian-Gothic structure was included in the Annapolis Historic District in 1971 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The recently completed BDM addition is a four-story addition which uses the nineteenth-century brick of the church's north fa?ade as its interior lobby wall. The Banneker-Douglass Museum celebrated its 25th Anniversary on Tuesday, February 24, 2009.

The centerpiece of Maryland Hall’s Founder’s Green is the labyrinth, which also features an artist’s circle, a changing array of large-scale outdoor sculptures and majestic elm trees and benches for reflection. Maryland Hall’s labyrinth was constructed in 2002, and is a replica of that inlaid in the floor of Notre Dame de Chartres Cathedral outside Paris. The Artist’s Circle sits on the opposite side of the labyrinth, and is a circular area that is usedby artists and arts classes on a regular basis and by visitors who come to reflect, meditate and enjoy the outdoors. Much of the Maryland Hall community, including students, teachers, parents and neighbors, enjoy the labyrinth, bench and artist’s circle year round.

The Quaker Burying Ground has been in use since 1672 when Quakerism began to take root in Maryland. Early burials in the cemetery were placed without markers, so no one knows how many individuals are actually buried here. The cemetery was active until the early 21st-century, and is now dotted with markers showing centuries of family history.
