Beautifully restored, this building is once again a gathering place for people to explore, contemplate, challenge, commemorate, and debate our story of governance.</p><p>Please join us for a guided tour of Colonial Building, where you will have the opportunity to view the building restoration including the lobby restored to the original 1850 finishes and both legislative chambers restored to their 1880 finishes, including the elaborate ceiling frescos.
