| Texas Capitol |
| The 1888 Capitol is the working seat of Texas government. Including its new underground Extension, it is the largest statehouse in the nation. The building houses an impressive collection of historical Texas artwork and antique furnishings. Ten spaces have been returned to their turn-of-the-century appearance. |

 | | Teresa S., Co-op Member | | The Texas State Capital is truly a magnificent structure! It is the largest capital building in the USA! There is an elevator if you need it or you can climb up all those stairs and see each office sometimes the legislature is in session! There are many historical areas throughout this wonderful building. At the top floor you can look down onto the rotunda and get a flavor of what it must have been like when Stephen F. Austin was there, and what it must be like to be Governor Rick Perry. Great history adventure! |

| | Jackie Penn, Co-op Member | | You can't be Texan without visiting the capitol. The last time I was there, it was Christmas and the decorations were beautiful. The opportunity for kids and grown-up alike to see our government in action is priceless. There is much to do in and around the area as well. |
