Tour the State Capitol August 22, 2009

The Madison Capitol is distinguished as being the only State Capitol ever built on an isthmus. Reaching to a height of over 200 feet, the Capitol dome is topped by Daniel Chester French's elegant gilded bronze statue, 'Wisconsin'. The state's diverse ethnic heritage is reflected in the architecture, art and furnishings throughout the Capitol. The best way to experience the beauty and grandeur of Wisconsin's Capitol building is to see it for yourself.
