Tour the Texas Capitol Building

The Texas Capitol Building in Austin is full of history and beauty, and houses the state's government. And a tour is a must-see for every Texan. We were lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour from Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, including a peek at his office! Did you know he's a major collector, and that he's collected all of the President's signatures? Pretty cool!
In this video clip, we see the Senate Chamber, discuss the secret chambers of this historic building and sneak a peek into Texas's original Supreme Court room!

    Honestly, this state capital was amazing to visit. It’s a ten out of ten for sure. It really engrossed me in the political and cultural history of the republic of Texas. Thank you all for welcoming visitors. It was way more deep and wide then I would have ever thought. I can’t wait to visit again!

    There's nothing like this?! Try the Kansas Capitol Senate chamber. Completely Incomparable. Can't even compare. Zoom in on the copper columns there for starters.
