Michigan’s present Capitol, the state’s third, opened to great acclaim on January 1, 1879. At the time it housed all offices of state government. Over the years the building was dramatically remodeled and altered to meet the changing needs of the state. In 1987, after years of neglect and decline, a project was launched to restore the Capitol to its original beauty. Following the completion of the award-winning restoration in 1992, the Capitol was named a National Historic Landmark. Today the Michigan State Capitol Commission continues to restore and renew our statehouse. Check back often to learn more about the ongoing restoration and preservation projects happening in the Capitol building, and on Capitol Square! |
