"The Nevada State Capitol Building at 150” Presented by Ron Roberts
This lecture will explore physical aspects of the building, the capitol grounds, and the neighborhood. It will also compare that to what it was like here in 1871 when construction was completed. Lastly, we will look inside the Capitol and see how it encapsulates the history of the entire state and state government.
