Ranked within the top 100 “America’s Favorite Architecture” (2007), it is the sixth-tallest state capitol. Walk around the grounds and visit some of the monuments and statues scattered throughout the grounds such as the Heroes of Alamo, the Confederate Soldiers Monument or the Volunteer Firemen Monument, with others along the tree-lined Great Walk.

After the Capitol you will then hop back into one of our air-conditioned Mercedes Metris vans to enjoy a narrated driving tour with stops at several iconic landmarks.
