Ohio Statehouse

Lincoln visited here 3 times. In 1859, he spoke from the east steps. In 1861, he visited Governor William Dennison & found out he won the 1860 election and lastly in 1865 after he was assassinated.

Don't be intimidated! The statehouse is open to all public, seven days a week. Since its renovation, it is a place marvelous to visit.

Very cool. Each of the statues outside the statehouse has a plaque with a phone number. Call the number to get more information about the statue .

It's an impeccable piece of architecture mixed with rich history... It definitely gonna worth your time

Have always loved the rotunda ! The museum space and gift shop are great too. Found some unique pieces by Ohio artists .

Did you know? The Rotunda’s floor symbolizes the U.S.’s development; 13 stones (colonies), 3 rings (territories), a star with 32 points (each state at the time) & a band all around (the Constitution). Read more
