Ohio Statehouse
- Landmark
- Regional draw
- Columbus
The Ohio Statehouse anchors Capitol Square in Columbus with Greek Revival architecture and an active role in state government.
Historic rooms, public art, and interpretation connect the building's design with the civic decisions and events associated with it. The surrounding square offers another way to explore the institution's commemorative landscape.
Check current public entrances, security requirements, and tour arrangements before arriving. Government business or events can affect access to individual spaces, and a scheduled tour provides more context than a brief look through the building.
