Connecticut State Capitol & Legislative Office Building

Step into the heart of Connecticut’s government and history at the State Capitol and Legislative Office Building in Hartford. Designated a National Historic Landmark, the Capitol features iconic statues—including Nathan Hale and Prudence Crandall—and the inspiring “Genius of Connecticut.”

Explore the historic Hall of Flags, where battle-worn banners tell the story of Connecticut’s soldiers. Peek inside the House and Senate chambers to learn how laws are made, and, when in session, watch the General Assembly in action from the public galleries.

Next door, the Legislative Office Building is where democracy meets the people—home to public hearings, legislative meetings, and the Connecticut Hall of Fame, celebrating outstanding citizens who’ve made an impact on the state, nation, and world.
