Did you know the Capitol building is built to look like the Massachusetts Statehouse in Boston? Same architect. And so many of the early founder were from Boston or thereabouts.
I did not know that! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Teepee. I din’t know that and should have. Thanks, Sharla for another piece of history.
This is very interesting, Sharla. Thanks so much for sharing it!
