TingOttobre 6, 2015Don't miss the informative tours available here daily. Best to call ahead for timings and reserve. Great insight to the workings of the state's legislators - House of reps and the senates.

Fluying ✅Ottobre 9, 2017The dome was painted gray during WWII to keep it dark during black outs, then re-gilded with 23k gold in 1997. The gold leaf is so thin that if rolled together, would be about the size of a pineapple- Fluying ✅Ottobre 9, 2017The tours are given weekdays year-round from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm, and are free of charge. The building is open from 8:45 am to 5 pm. The Massachusetts State House is closed on weekends and holidays.
