The New Jersey State House is one of the oldest capitol buildings in continuous use in the United States. The original state house was built with local stone in 1792 for only $400. Portions of the original building are still contained in the current structure, but as New Jersey expanded, so has the building, taking today’s elegant form in the early 20th century. Tour this living government entity to appreciate both its architecture and its longstanding importance to the functioning and development of the Garden State. As you walk toward the building, look for the golden dome gleaming between the towers. It’s now somewhat hidden by later additions to the building’s façade. Spot the enormous rendering of the state seal near the peak of the front of the building before you enter, with the motto “Liberty and Prosperity” scrolled along the bottom. On Monday or Thursday afternoons before the tour, sit in on a legislative session, with New Jersey State congresspersons debating the day’s important issues. Follow an engaged and enthusiastic tour guide who will introduce you to the history and current stories of the building. Crane your neck to view the remarkable red rotunda, crowned with Victorian wrought iron balustrades and an enormous cast iron eagle. Admire the golden airiness beneath the dome and the stateliness of the caucus rooms. Step inside the governor’s office and imagine yourself in his place, making decisions and signing bills. Find the New Jersey State House in the heart of downtown Trenton next to the Delaware River. Drive here in 5 minutes from the Trenton Transit Center, which offers bus and rail connections to the area or walk in 20 minutes. Bring your photo ID to park in the free lot under the state house or use metered parking along the street and in nearby lots. Free tours run every weekday on the hour from mid-morning to early afternoon and on the first and third Saturdays of the month in early afternoon. Access to the building is available only on a tour. ## Plan a trip to see New Jersey State House Price found within the past 48 hours.
