New Hampshire State House

The New Hampshire State House is a capitol building in Concord featuring a gilded dome topped with an eagle statue that rises above the downtown area. Inside are legislative chambers, a library, and exhibition spaces covering the state's political history.

Construction finished in 1819, and the building was designed in the Greek Revival style using smooth granite blocks. This architectural approach defined the downtown's character for over two centuries.

The Hall of Flags displays battle flags from various conflicts and honors the state's military past. Walking through this space helps visitors understand which wars shaped New Hampshire's story.

The building sits downtown and is easy to find and walk to from other city landmarks. Public tours take visitors through the main rooms and collections throughout the day.

The House Chamber holds around 400 seats, making it one of the largest legislative halls in the country. This unusual size allows the state to have a remarkably large number of representatives compared to other states.
