We achieved our 40th State Capitol here in Raleigh, North Carolina. Visited on a Saturday afternoon an was still open for visitors till 5 pm. It’s a functional Capitol with the Executive Branch having offices in the Building. The Senate and House of Representatives work out of a new Legislative Building down the street. Walking on all 3 floors gave perspective of the State Library, Geology room, House of Commons (House of Representatives) and Senate. Lots of important plaques to read.

A beautiful historic state capital building. Inviting space, some parts are closed to the public, overall not too large, easy to cover in fifteen minutes. Beautiful add to a state capital tour.

A piece of living history which honors those who fought for American independence and defended freedom. Free to enter with a security checkpoint and free tours on Saturday at 11am and 2pm as of now. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. There are precious memorials on the Capital grounds, a house chamber, and a fantastic colonial style library you can observe upstairs. Also a purified water fountain on the ground level, which I appreciated.

We visited on the weekend so we only walked around outside. The statues and architecture are impressive. The detail of the Vietnam war memorial was very moving. The grounds are well kept with lots of shade trees. The grounds cover an entire city block. There were steps facing the street we entered from, I did not pay attention to whether there was wheelchair access but I’m thinking surely there must be on one of the streets.

Very small Capitol but a fun one to check off. You can really wander where you want! Best parts are the neat statue of Washington and the cool library upstairs. I recommend wandering down to the current legislative building afterwards
