I'm going on a world trip through 24 different
areas. I'm starting at Des Moines, Iowa at the capitol building. I have lived in Iowa since my life began. I live in Beaverdale, which is a part of Des Moines. I live next to one of the first Dahl's.
I would go here to take a tour through the main floor of the capitol, go through one of the underground paths to get to another building, and maybe talk to some people who work there.
The capitol has a bit of history behind it. In 1902, renovations installed electrical lighting, elevators, and a telephone system. However, a workman started a fire that destroyed a lot of the capitol, so they had to redo it. The capitol is the only capitol with 5 domes in the country. The Iowa State Capitol grounds are covered in monuments about the Civil War, and other historic monuments. During the Civil War, soldiers from Iowa died the most.
