In the 1880s the Michigan Capitol grounds were designed to complement the elegant new building with a lovely, park-like setting. Unfortunately, this design was often compromised by changing tastes, new technologies, and modern priorities. See how Capitol Square has transformed over the last 145 years and reemerged as a picturesque green space in the heart of downtown Lansing.
