About Wyoming State Capitol

Built from 1886 to 1890 in the Renaissance Revival style, Wyoming's capitol is topped by a 146-foot dome covered in 24-carat gold leaf. A four-year restoration finished in 2019 brought back its historic chambers, where Allen Tupper True's 1917 murals show Wyoming's history and culture. You can walk in for a self-guided tour of the building, one of 20 state capitols designated a National Historic Landmark.
