    The original State House goes back to 1791 and has had many uses over the years. In 1976 it was restored back to its original appearance. You don't need a reservation to get a tour, just show up 10-15 minutes in advance. You see three rooms, the lower floor as well as two rooms upstairs. The tour guide was very informative and gave lots of history of Delaware as well as the building, including the various Constitutions of Delware as well as how the boundaries and territorial changes that made Delaware to the state it is today.

  3. 4.0 Legislative Hall (60 reviews)
    - Nice but not open weekends
    Saturday: Government Buildings
    Legislative Hall image
    This is another capital building with nice architecture. The building is two floors connected by a center staircase. The first floor gives access to the chambers and offices while the second floor gives access to balconies overlooking the chambers, as well as more offices. Much of the inside is white and green. Look for portraits of famous Delawareans as well as important moments in Delaware history. The building's architecture looks pretty much the same throughout to the point where it's hard to tell the House and Senate Chambers apart. It's free to enter and you are free to take a self guided tour. Only thing I don't understand is why this building is only open weekdays while other state capitols are open seven days a week. Thankfully they offer virtual tours on their website for those who can't make it. See more..
