North Carolina Museum of History

This place is also great to visit. We can see some parts of the building and read some history about it. We also can see the meeting room and how does it look like.... Not much to see in this building, but still worth it and impressive.

The State Capitol building, built in 1840, is an excellent example of a civic structure in Greek Revival-style architecture. Though recently renovated, the building does contain some original furniture.
