About Nebraska State Capitol

Designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and built from 1922 to 1932, the Nebraska State Capitol rises about 400 feet from a three-story square base to a gold-tiled dome topped by The Sower, a 19.5-foot bronze figure. Free guided tours lead you past Hildreth Meière's marble mosaic floors and tiled vaults, sculpture and murals, and the chamber of the only unicameral state legislature in the country. The tower and its observation decks are closed during HVAC construction.
