Georgia State Capitol050

A visit to the Georgia State Capitol provides a glimpse into the working center of Georgia's government. Newly restored and listed on the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places, the completely refurbished "House of the People" is a gleaming example of 19th century design and 21st century technology. Tours begin at the Capitol Education Center with a viewing of The Georgia State Capitol: A Symbol of the New South. Visitors then move through the State Capitol for a brief overview of Capitol history and the lawmaking process, a visit to the public galleries of the House of Representatives and Senate, and a display of historic Georgia Flags. The tour concludes with a visit to the Georgia Capitol Museum, filled with historical Georgian items. Tours are 60-90 minutes in length and are available Mon-Fri at 10am, 11am, 1pm, and 2pm (Apr-Dec); or 9:30am, 10:30am, 1pm, and 2pm (Jan-Mar). Tours may be scheduled in advance, but walk-in visitors are welcome. Closed on all holidays.
