Holy shit

Bill Graves, governor at the time had that rotunda fortified and the native Kansa Indian statue mounted on top as his legacy.

I remember the day they put it up and it had to come back down a few hours later because some bolts didn’t line up correctly. I’m not a big fan of the statue. It just doesnt look right. Love the name though. Ad Astra.

That capital is a beautiful building and mural of John Brown (insane, murderous MF’er’er that he was) is stunning. Always thought it was a great place to field trip.

I remember going up there when I was in 6th grade but I don’t remember being scared.

The George Brett statue icon is hilarious

I don't know how it is now, but in the early 90s the top of the Washington monument was loose plywood that lifted when you walked towards the little slot you can look out of.

That's how I learned I'm scared of heights!

About two years ago, I walked through the original North Carolina capitol building in Raleigh. They do not conduct their business there any more - It was tiny and cramped compared to the KS building ( which is not huge)

I have been in there but never gone up to the top. I thought they stopped allowing people to do that years ago.

This was actually rebuilt just a few years ago and is perfectly safe.
