We had the opportunity/honor to visit the Maine State House in JUN_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about Maine's history and legacy.
We did a plant tour aroud since it was closed during the weekend, and for sure it's a remarkable building.
Definitely, it's a place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

Great architecture and very nice experience of visiting here. Got good parking place and it was nice sunny and quiet day.
Beautiful state Capitol! Loved the rocking chairs on the 2nd floor overlooking the gardens.
Wonderful day with guided tour. Led with an invocation and sat through an entire Senate session.
I enjoyed the Maine State House from the outside during sunset. This is a lovely example of early 19th century architecture designed by Charles Bulfinch, who also designed the the Old State House in Connecticut, the Massachusetts State House, and the rotunda and dome of the United States Capitol. It's a must visit for Federalist-style fans.
I loved it! I loved everything - seeing all portraits, a beautiful fireplace upstairs, the beautiful building, the collection of local butterflies and animals... We were able to step outside on the balcony and it was so beautiful there! I also loved the art picture, showing the State House and made out of the local business cards. This is such a cool idea!! See my photo.
Upon entering the building, you can get a little guide, telling the history and story of each room. It was very well and interesting written!
Highly recommend to visit it!

Worth a visit! There are guided tours or you can go by yourself. There is a lot you can learn about Maines history and politics nowadays. Public bathrooms are there as well. If the weather is good you can go on the balcony and enjoy the beautiful view. To get in you have to go through a small security check but nothing too dramatic.
I often walk down to the capitol building with my grandkids, they love walking the halls and climbing the stairs. And the surrounding grounds are delightful for picnic lunches. Also the flags in the trees are a nice Maine touch.
This building is quite impressive. It was first completed in 1832 and the architecture is beautiful. It sits high on a hill surrounded by lush pines and maple trees. Quite a sight to see.
