The Madison Capitol is distinguished as being the only State Capitol ever built on an isthmus. Reaching to a height of over 200 feet, the Capitol dome is topped by Daniel Chester French's elegant gilded bronze statue, "Wisconsin." Edwin Blashfield's mural "Resources of Wisconsin" lavishly decorates the ceiling of the rotunda, which is the only granite dome in the United States. Inside, visitors are treated to the unique textures of 43 varieties of stone from around the world, hand-carved furniture and exquisite glass mosaics. The state's diverse ethnic heritage is reflected in the architecture, art and furnishings throughout the Capitol. more on Wisconsin.gov

I grew up about an hour away from Madison, and one of the things I've always loved about the city is that it has all the things you'd like in a big city - great shopping, an arts and culture scene, etc. more >
