Connecticut State Capitol, Hartford
This State Capitol is located beautifully, with its grounds leading into Bushnell Park for a refreshing contrast to Hartford’s downtown area. It’s known as one of America’s best state capitol buildings because of its charm and historical significance.
Finished in 1910, this capitol is the third edition to the building, now featured more prominently as an iconic state symbol.
The pure white marble building is topped with a golden dome to showcase a large-scale Eastlake architecture style, and it’s the largest of its kind. It’s open to the public to admire its interior design and exhibits and features several galleries with historical artifacts and the famous Hall of Flags.
Visitors can take guided tours of the House and Senate, including visiting the Legislative Office Building, which is connected to the capitol via an underground tunnel.
