Dover, Delaware

While staying in Maryland, to visit the Washington D.C. area, we were also very close to Delaware, so we took advantage of our proximity to visit the capital in Dover.  The capitol building is called the Delaware Legislative Hall, and houses the chambers and offices of the Delaware General Assembly.  We were the only two people there on the day we toured, and we were given the option of a personal guided tour, or wandering on our own, which we ultimately elected to do.  A small but charming building, it seems quite a humble abode for the government of "The First State" - the first of the 13 original states to ratify the U.S. Constitution.
