Welcome!

Idaho's State Capitol is our state's most-treasured building. Within its beautiful sandstone walls, laws have been passed, issues debated, and citizen rights safeguarded for nearly a century. To ensure the Capitol building's long history and legacy, the Idaho Capitol Commission was appointed by Governor Phil Batt in July 1998. Subsequent Governors have been strong advocates of the Commission and its goal to restore and preserve the Capitol to its original splendor.

We invite you to explore our web site and enjoy all it has to offer. Learn about the Capitol Building's history, the exterior work that has been completed, and the extent of the restoration/renovation in progress.
