One of the smaller state capitols I have been to, but it was still a great experience to tour it. A great chance to learn a little more about Delaware state history. The chambers were simpler, but had some unique features. For instance, you could see how they moved the desks around, (which was somewhat unique from the other state capitols I've been). The paintings were a nice touch to the state capitol as well. The staff here was helpful and helped me to take pictures or explain things when asked.

I think the smaller size of the building suits the state perfectly. the staff here were wonderful. did the self guided tour, but guided tours are given every 30-45 mins for free year-round. worth your time if you...
