During my recent visit, I learned that even back in the 1800s, NC states general assembly did not prioritize spending money on education. Although the poorest of the 13 colonies, NCs general assembly chose to commission Italian sculptor Canova to sculpt a statue of George Washington for $10,000. Ironically, NC is currently ranked the 5th most attractive state to begin a business because of an attractive tax base. However, 200 years later, NCs General Assembly still does not prioritize education - contributing to NCs ranking of #5 instead of #1 or maybe even #2. Hurrah! Hurrah! The good ol North State!

Did not go in the building, but the grounds were very well kept with lots of seating places available. The statues offer a nice guide through the history of the state. Plenty of photo opportunities looking down the many streets of downtown Raleigh.

This place is really cool to visit if you are into history. It is a very old building that has been kept in great condition. It really is neat to go in and contemplate how our State government was way back when, and even through today.

比起其他州的議會大樓，譬如德克薩斯、威斯康辛，北卡羅萊納的略顯破敗寒酸，而且規模比較小。

Well kept lawn and area that set off nice as a view from downtown. I like the statues and cannons around it (for show of course). I plan on getting a tour soon.

Nice green area in the middle of downtown raleigh. This is where all the laws happen for the state of North Carolina. Tons of statues adorning the square.

Build in 1833, back in the Civil War this building was still a state capitol but then as state capitol of the Confederate state of North Carolina.

Not a lot too see on the inside, but still fun to see the facility. The outside is a nice area to spend some time on your walk through downtown.

So much history in these walls! For a North Carolina native, its definitely something you should do at least once as an adult.

There is a large statue on these grounds that reads "to our Confederate dead". Truly disgusting.
