Nevada State Capitol
The 1871 sandstone State Capitol with a silver dome. Inside are the governor's office and a small exhibition on state history.
The Nevada State Capitol was completed in 1871. Its sandstone walls and silver dome reflect the state's nickname, the "Silver State." Visitors can tour the former Senate and Assembly chambers and a small exhibition on state history for free. The second floor is still home to the governor's office. The surrounding Capitol Park is shaded by trees and has monuments and sculptures. It is open on weekdays, and it is usually closed on weekends. It is in downtown Carson City, about five minutes' walk from the State Museum.
