Like so many buildings across the Silver State, the Nevada State Capitol is an icon of our history. Completed in one year’s time from 1870-71, the structure is defined by its silver-colored dome and Alaskan marble features. A bronze statue of Sarah Winnemucca—a 19th-century Paiute educator and author from Nevada’s Great Basin who advocated for the rights of American Indians—is prominently displayed in the lobby, along with portraits of Nevada governors and other legendary Nevadans. Arrange yourself a spot on a guided tour of the building, then be sure and check out one of Carson City’s newest museums—found within the south wing of the Capitol—at Battle Born Hall.
