OLLI West facilitator, Ellen Stanton, who has held several courses and presentations on the U.S. Capitol, Mount Vernon and the Colorado State Capitol, is offering guided tours to the Colorado State Capitol on April 12th and 15th. These tours will be guided walks through the Capitol (please note - there will be extensive walking and a 99-step climb). Information regarding early Capitol construction, stained glass artwork, Women's Gold Tapestry, Presidential portraits, Colorado's lawmaking process and much more is offered. Mr. Brown's attic is an exhibit area located between the third floor and the dome. It is devoted to Colorado's early history, capitol construction and legislative process. The dome walk is a 99-step climb to the observation area where there is a 360 degree view of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains.
