Pennsylvania State Capitol Building
Discover the beauty and history of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg, a priceless palace of art filled with opulent décor, brilliant paintings and statues, and centuries of commonwealth history. It's free to visit the Capitol building and take a guided tour while your expert escort points out the artistic and architectural highlights.
Learn More:
Operating Schedule: 30-minute guided tours are offered year-round, daily, Monday through Friday, plus weekends and most holidays.
Rooms you'll see on the guided tour:
Main Rotunda: Begin your tour in the breathtaking rotunda featuring a 52-million-pound dome that reaches 272 feet from floor to ceiling. The designer modeled the Capitol dome after St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Atop the dome sits a 17-foot, 3-ton gilded bronze statue named Commonwealth.
Senate Chamber: The desks in the chamber are the original desks, built in 1906 from mahogany from Belize. The marble around the bottom of the room is from Ireland, and the gold French velvet drapes in each window weigh 87 pounds a pair!
House Chamber: The two small chandeliers weigh two tons each while the four larger ones weigh 4 and a half ton – that’s about the size of a male African elephant! The marble that wraps the bottom of the room is from the Pyrenees Mountains of France. The marble was donated to the Capitol by monks. Shortly after, their quarries closed and never reopened again. The painting in the center of the room, The Apotheosis of Pennsylvania, is the largest painting in the Capitol.
Supreme Court: The Supreme Court in Harrisburg is one of three in the state of Pennsylvania. Seven justices sit across the front of the oldest Supreme Court in the United States. Like the Senate and House chambers, the mahogany woodwork is original to the building. The beautiful green stained glass dome is the only one of its kind in the Capitol. Look up because the ornate chandeliers each contain a statue!

From Wikipedia:
Harrisburg is the capital city of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the county seat of Dauphin County. With a population of 50,099 as of the 2020 census, Harrisburg is the 15th largest city in Pennsylvania (the 9th largest including townships and boroughs).
Harrisburg lies on the east bank of the Susquehanna River. It is the larger of the two anchor cities of the Harrisburg–Carlisle metropolitan statistical area, also known as the Susquehanna Valley, which had a 2020 population of 591,712, making it the fourth most populous metropolitan area in Pennsylvania after the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Lehigh Valley metropolitan areas.
Harrisburg played a role in American history during the Westward Migration, the American Civil War and the Industrial Revolution. During part of the 19th century, the building of the Pennsylvania Canal, and later the Pennsylvania Railroad, allowed Harrisburg to become one of the most industrialized cities in the Northeastern United States. In the mid-to-late 20th century, the city's economic fortunes fluctuated with its major industries consisting of government, heavy manufacturing, agriculture, and food services (nearby Hershey is home of the chocolate maker, located just 10 miles (16 km) east).
The Pennsylvania Farm Show, the largest indoor agriculture exposition in the United States, was first held in Harrisburg in 1917 and has been held there every early-to-mid January since then. The city also hosts the annual Great American Outdoor Show, the largest of its kind in the world, among many other events. Harrisburg is also known for the Three Mile Island accident, which occurred on March 28, 1979, near Middletown.
In 2010 Forbes rated Harrisburg as the second best place in the U.S. to raise a family.[9] Despite the city's past financial troubles, in 2010 The Daily Beast website ranked 20 metropolitan areas across the country as being recession-proof, and the Harrisburg region was ranked 7th.[10] The financial stability of the region is in part due to the high concentration of state and federal government agencies.
Harrisburg is located 83 miles (134 km) miles southwest of Allentown, Pennsylvania's third largest city, and 107 miles (172 km) northwest of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's largest city.

Harrisburg, PA | A Tour of the Capital City
On this cold winter day, we take a tour of the Capitol city of Harrisburg & the community of Hershey. Harrisburg was the mid-point for the Pennsylvania cities where all the materials met to be redistributed everywhere else. Its the Capitol because of the ideal location which made it the center of the state. In this tour we experience a frozen Susquehanna, a couple of days after the Nor'easter winter storm. Then we take a further look at the capitol building and journey around town to Midtown Scholar Bookstore and Broad Street Market. We finish our tour in Hershey and Chocolate world, to get a delicious look at Hershey's history. I'll see you on tour!
