Historian Scott Johnson did a wonderful job showing me the capital building. It is amazing what ~$2Million could buy back in the day the Capital building was constructed. Best materials, amazing art, fascinating history. Plan on coming back with family. Got some amazing pictures and fun anecdotes from the era.

Our tour of the Kentucky State Capitol was interesting and informative. Our guide, Scott, is a retired American history teacher whose passion for the capitol building and its history was apparent throughout the tour. Although the exterior of the dome is scaffolded for repairs, the inside of the building is fully open and you can see the changing colors on the inside of the dome.

Scott Johnson was our tour guide and was an excellent guide with interesting commentary on the history of the Capitol and the past governors and their families. His own personal experiences from his childhood being in the Capitol where his father worked were delightful. The Capitol building was one of the top two we have toured.

It is a beautiful building with a lot of history. Construction started in 1905 and was finished at 1909. Granite and marble inside was from, Vermont, Georgia, and India. honestly, I wouldn’t enjoyed it as much if George and Linda hadn’t been there, they were delightful. Good people! I WOULD RECOMMEND

My spouse and I decided to take a trip to the southeast and see some sites. As she loves mansions and capitols and I'm big into Nascar, South Carolina and North Carolina seemed like a good bet since we had not visited either area in years. As we decided what state capitols, we wanted to see on our way out and back. Kentucky was a sleeper in the mix. Located in Frankfort KY. not a big well know city we weren't sure what to expect. we were pleasantly surprised. As we pulled up Capitol Avenue to the capitol, we were taken back to our rural roots of small-town charm in this quint city. We took the guided tour as to capture as much history as possible (guided tours give you so much more over self-tours). I have to tell you Denise Melancon our tour guide was one of those people that was welcoming. We have toured many capitols and Denise was by far the best guide we have ever had. She was extremely knowledgeable and very inviting that kept your interest peaked. This was not "you have seen one capitol you have seen them all". You need to see this capitol and have Denise be your tour guide, you will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful tour through the Kentucky Capitol building. We had a great tour guide, Denise Melancon, who was so knowledgeable about the capital history and the history that surrounds it. It was so worth the tour. Thank you so much! Chas & Karen
