Utah State Capitol
I remember when I was a child, my mom took us on a tour of the Utah State Capitol. I remember looking up on the ceiling of all of the cool paintings and sculptures.
I was also fascinated by the statue out front of Massasoit, a native american chief who helped the early settlers.
Later on in life, my high school held Jr. Prom at the Capitol Rotunda. After High School, my husband and I attended a Halloween dance in the Capitol Rotunda.

Hi, Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your awesome coverage of the Utah State Capitol and its activities! In November 2012, we actually updated our photography policy and got rid of the reservation and fee requirement for bridal, family, and engagement photography. (Commercial photography still requires a permit.) We still get a lot of phone calls from people who say they found conflicting information online. Can you please help us by updating your blog post? Our current photo policy is detailed here: https://utahstatecapitol.utah.gov/index.php/photography
Thank you so much!
Sara
