Visit the State Capitol
The Wisconsin State Capitol is a beautiful and historic building - arguably one of the most impressive capitol buildings in the country. It celebrated its 100th year of continuous use in 2017. Over that long span, it has been witness to extraordinary events in our state's history. It is open to the public and we encourage you to stop by and visit your legislators if you decide to explore the capitol. Capitol tours can be arranged by visiting the Capitol Tour website or by calling (608) 266-0382.
