Government buildings were beautiful and majestic. Historian facts at every corner. Great for the whole family. I plan to go back when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. You can feel the pride in Salem with its stunning Capital and golden Lumber Jack

I like living in this state. Very save. Very nice. And just plain old beautiful. You should probably- no. Absolutely come here and live here. Or maybe at the very least just come on over to take a look at our very beautiful scenery.

Enjoyed walking around the Capital. Nice to see the history of Oregon hasnt been torn down yet!

The grounds at this capitol building are more beautiful than any grounds Ive seen elsewhere! Theres so much grass to relax on and gorgeous rows of trees lining the fields. At the center of it all is a unique water fountain. The very best time to visit the capitol is in the spring. The flowers are blooming and the trees are in full blosom. The inside of the capitol building is beautiful as well and fun to explore.

Beautiful. Very nice grounds. Patriot party! 18JUL20. GREAT PEOPLE, Save Our State.

Lota politics dont like politics. I just wana grill for gods sake

It was peaceful and the group made you feel welcome felt the love in the air

Beautiful Area but Oregon Lacks Proper Stewardship. Instead on kindling a Pioneering spirit inclined to prosperity. They trade that and feed the spirit dependency. We need to Help and assist the Retirement class and Truly disabled people.

Great place to take photos and walk around! Especially in the spring and summer time to enjoy the fountains and cherry blossoms!

Visiting Salem and took the opportunity to visit the grounds of the State Capitol. Hadnt been here for a long time and it still is beautiful. I love the granite used in the construction of the buildings and also the architectural design. And whats not to like about the gold leaf statue on top?

I havent been to the capital in years. I am now disabled and didnt know if Id even be able to get in. There is wheelchair access on the far left of the front steps. The signage isnt great, but you can find it.The staff was very kind and helpful.As a child I was always intrigued by the murals in the rotunda. I really enjoyed seeing them again. They are majestic.There are a number of exhibits that were great to see.And the grounds are really impressive. So beautiful.Take a couple hours and immerse yourself in our States history!

Visited in mid-November, and it was the same day they brought in the big Christmas tree, smelling fresh and wonderful! Got to see them hoist it up! The building itself isnt one of the more ornate ones and we werent able to go on the tour to the top, but the grounds across from the Capitol were so pretty with the fall leaves!! Take the time to walk around it! Displays inside gave us visitors a variety of details about state demography, legislation and capitol building history and architecture. Architectural symbols are of interest in their social context.

Kate Brown is a vile tyrant.

Not one of the prettiest capitol buildings, but at least they didn’t waste too much tax money. 1930s art deco style. The tour and info staff was great. You can visit the roof at certain times of the year/day.

Theyve done some really great remodeling theyve added easier access for wheelchairs to come and see the inside

Very beautiful capitol building, but I do prefer Denver, Colorado’s.

Beautiful building and even nicer grounds. The staff inside were pretty nice too. Lots to learn about Oregon/PNW history.

I visited an attorney friend in Portland last summer and received an invitation to attend the swearing in ceremony of Oregon’s first female Chief Justice. One of Oregon’s justices is originally from Arkansas and she gave me a tour of the justices’s chambers after the ceremony. The courtroom and chambers are beautiful. The Capitol Building nearby is Art Deco design and a little unusual looking compared to the more traditional building that houses the Supreme Court.

I visited the Oregon State Capitol back in May while returning home to California from Washington state and British Columbia. Completed in 1938 to replace the old building that was destroyed by fire in 1935, the current Capitol is the third structure to house the Oregon State Legislature and is a magnificent example of Stripped Classical Art Deco. Oregon is one of five states whose capitols were constructed in the Art Deco style of the 1930s. The House of Representatives Chamber is paneled in golden oak and the Governors office and Senate Chamber are both paneled in black walnut. This Capitol, like every other state capitol, is very unique and is worth a visit to anyone who is a great fan of architecture.

It was wonderful walking through the halls of power for the State of Oregon. I was most impressed with the Sergeant at Arms calling me over to sit with him as he explained to me the proceedings of the day since I arrived early and was wandering through. I was also able to witness the Senate opening ceremony including a poem by a local student and the Pledge of Allegiance. What struck me was every few minutes someone would yell out loudly into the hallway. At first I thought it was an emergency but seeing everyone else continue like normal I figured it must be a regular occurrence. I found out later that it was the job of pages to call the elected officials back into the chamber for votes. So a minute before the vote closes they run into the hall and yell out that it’s time to return and vote.

Awesome to be right by the state Capitol. Beautiful!

My prayers come true and so do I . It confirmed Im going to Marry RICHARD HOFAMAN

This capitol building is of great beauty. The Lumber Jack on the pinnacle sparkles in the sun. The while (marbled, I believe) exterior of the building is pristine and commands attention. The setting is on the plush green of the lawn and the evergreen trees in the background

It is worth visiting if you are near Salem. The Capitol building looks amazing from the outside. I didnt take the tour or go inside the building.

Must visit at least one as it is the Capitol building... if you join the tour, you might actually learn something... or you can read the post and sign yourself... architecture is beautiful, great for snapping few pictures.. gift shop is a bit small but who actually seriously buy stuffs there... a nice park in front of the building, another place to shoot pictures... it is free, why not visit when you are in the area

Beautiful building and park. The landscaping and cherry trees are awesome. I just wish those fountains were always running, at least spring through fall.

Had a great tour of the capital from history to government, the docent Mike had a great attitude. Everyone should take a tour of their state capital, now onto Sacramento for another. Make sure you take both tours and walk the garden. Im not sure why the negative reviews below, I think a citizen part-time government of the people for the people is preferable over where I live California where there is professional political wonks with special interest than citizens interest on their mind. That Oregon is pretty with lots of green and trees and a real neat history, should also check out the End of the Oregon Trail Museum just an hour away in Oregon City (the first capital ).

Terrific visitor staff. The Capitol Building was open the Sunday prior to the eclipse, a day of the week when it is otherwise closed. On Eclipse Monday the Capitol hosted the eclipse viewing on the Capitol grounds. They pulled off the event magnificently, enhancing Natures show with hospitality.

Love Oregon and love this capitol. Great views, had some nice displays of military uniforms. Very friendly staff and awesome nearby parks!

Very unusual looking building, but very interesting and beautiful in its own different way.

A beautiful building, both inside and outside. Take a tour up to the Golden Pioneer at least once. There are nice views up there.

Great to see our elected officials in action serving Oregonians.

The Oregon State Capitol is an amazing place. During Christmas they put a huge Christmas tree in the main entrance area and it looks awesome! I Love Oregon!!!

Fun outside area for Kids and Dogs. Wonderful when the cherry blossoms fall.

Beautiful, surrounded by parks .

Rally for constitutional rights.

I loved the tour. Great for kids and adults.

This is more or less aimed at Oregonians rather than just the government here. Let me start with Oregonians I salute you, as a people. You have bonded together and love your fellow man/woman as well as nature.its the little things like the willingness to let another car go in front of you, leaving as much of the natural wildlife in tact as possible even if it cost a little more money,the numerous residents I see out cleaning up the public streets and really taking pride of your homes and businesses to a point where even I Who admitingly used to litter on occasion have changed my habits just after being in oregon for 3 short hours. Ive been here visiting for a few weeks now and Im still noticing little traits and qwerks here I wish I transplant in my home state. I could go on for awhile but you should really stop reading and come check out oregonians for yourself,perhaps theyll teach you a few things too!

I Love All Of Oregon, Especially, Near The Ocean!!!

Nice looking building, but needs a good cleaning!

The building is lack luster. Its kinda boring actually

Interesting artwork!

Never seen the inside but looks good in the outside

Great place to go for a walk and take great pictures :)

Our capital hard at work.
