North Dakota State Capitol

Denise Fettig - Loftesnes

When you walk through the doors of the capital, and through security you will immediately have an opportunity to see history. The walls have beautiful portraits of people who have been awarded the Theodore Roosevelt Hall of Fame, Rough Rider award. The award is given to outstanding North Dakota ends who have attained accomplishments that have brought honor to the state. And it is very surprising to see who is from North Dakota. There is also an opportunity for a guided tour of the history of the capital. When you go to the 19th floor you can view the surrounding city of Bismarck. There is a art display from a local artist. And incredible photography of the old capital on fire.

Nice areas to walk around. The heritage center is really interesting as well. Lots of history about north Dakota and fun exhibits that everyone will like. Tons of different things in there, worth a stop for sure

This state capitol might look unassuming outside, but is very interesting inside. The history dramatically affected the design and architecture. I appreciated the simplicity and yet detailed touches for the interior design. The downstairs lobby has an unusual hall of portraits of famous and influential North Dakota residents, rather than the typical government position holder's portraits. The history mentioned with each of the portraits is worth the trip to the capitol. I've had several guided tours and each have been informative. A visit to the top floor is fun to read more history of North Dakota but especially for the views in all directions. I highly recommend visiting the North Dakota state capitol and the guided tour.

They have a great tour of the building! The Art Deco style of the interior is grand. The view from the top is worth the stop.
