Maine State House

We try to visit the capitol buildings when we're in a state capital because they are often beautiful buildings and have interesting tidbits of the state history. Maine's state capitol building is underwhelming. The interior is rather plain and there aren't any exhibits. Portraits of the former governors line the hallways and the House and Senate chambers are open to peek in but that's about it. Maybe we should have visited during the week when guided tours are held.

The accessible entrance is on the west side of the building. Elevators access all of the floors except for the rotunda.

 

There are accessible parking spaces in the lot between the Burton Cross Office Building (government offices) and the State Building. Small RVs will fit. Larger RVs can be parked in the public lots to the west of the Cross Buildings but the last block up to the capitol is steep. State House  44.30732, -69.78401
