Adam StallmanMay 19, 2018One of several capital buildings that do not have a dome. You can do a guided tour at certain times or just walk around. The building sits on top of a hill which allows for nice views of downtown.
Upvoted Oct 9- Travis StathamAugust 14, 2018We didn’t go inside, but immaculate landscaping and I suggest reading a book on the hill looking to the north.

Mark BApril 17, 2021Only open a couple days a week. Enter from a tunnel entrance facing MLK Blvd. We went on a Monday and were literally the only visitors in the entire bldg. It helps that they weren’t in session also.
Ricardo ValdesApril 20, 2016It's a nice walk uphill. The park is nice on a hit day. The war memorial at its back quite impressive too- Smithsonian ChannelJune 23, 2011Architect William Strickland died during the capitol’s construction and, per his final wish, was interred in its walls. President James K. Polk and his wife are also buried here. (From Aerial America) Read more

Jeff SellersMay 30, 2011If its the weekend and the Capitol is closed, walk to the North and South ends of the building to see the tombs of the architect and building commissioner.

LPMNDCAugust 12, 2011Look at the cupola to see if the legislature is in session. When they are you will see three flags.
If you want a really in depth tour of the building, ask for Taylor.
