The Capitol is a must see! The building completed it's renovation in 2017 - the largest preservation effort since it opened in 1905. This building is actually Minnesota's 3rd capitol, the first  burning down in 1881 during a legislative session, and the 2nd being outgrown almost immediately in 1883. Enjoy free guided or self-guided tours at your leisure, check out the famous Golden Horses and see our democracy at work during a legislative session.
