Arizona out grew its capital building after the territory became a state, so when the legislators and governor moved out, part of the building was turned into a
museum with all sorts of state trivia.
Winged Victory, a seventeen foot weather vane sits atop the building.
The room where the state congress used to meet looks sort of like a school room.
The Arizona state seal--incorrectly designed--is at the center of the building.
This was an interesting display.
There was a law that to enter town, a man must be wearing pants. Some of the native tribes didn't have the custom of wearing them. So there was a pair of jeans which hung on a tree outside the town. A man could wear the jeans into town and put them back on the tree branch when he went home again.
Wow.
