State capitols

The sixth state capitol I visited during my All You Can Jet journey in September was in Montpelier, Vermont. Vermont’s State House has the oldest legislative chambers in the country.

The fifth state capitol I visited was the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. Construction was started in 1886 and completed 15 years later. It measures 383 feet long and 315 feet wide.

The exterior walls are constructed of granite quarried near Gunnison, Colorado. The gold dome rises 272 feet and is covered with 47 ounces of gold. It was originally covered in copper until citizens objected that copper was not a primary metal of Colorado.

The fourth state capitol I visited was the Massachusetts State House. It was completed in 1798 and was only 65 feet wide.

The third state capitol I visited on my All You Can Jet pass was in Providence, Rhode Island.

The second state capitol I visited on my All You Can Jet pass was in Richmond, Virginia.  Here are some more photos from my visit.
