The building itself is absolutely beautiful, with incredible architecture, historic details, and a stunning dome that really stands out the moment you walk in. You can tell a lot of care has gone into preserving the history of the building. The inside is just as impressive as the outside. The marble floors, decorative ceilings, and historic chambers give you a real sense of Michigan's history and government. Walking through the halls and seeing where important decisions are made was both interesting and inspiring. The atmosphere was welcoming and educational. Staff and guides were friendly and helpful, and the self-guided areas made it easy to explore at your own pace. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or just looking for something unique to do in Lansing, the Michigan State Capitol is definitely worth the visit.

Capitol Square, where the building sits, is beautiful. You can take a tour during the week and every first Saturday of the month. I recommend scheduling tours in advance for large groups, however, for smaller groups you should still call to check availability since many schools and groups visit the Capitol. I like to say if you've been to any of U.S.'s capitol buildings, you've been to them all, because they all share similar architecture and layout, but of course each offers their own rich history. Overall, a very good experience.

The garden has a small arbor with lovely shade trees and trellises and the food and service was outstanding. This would be my first choice for a small wedding or a family gathering .

    I love historic homes. this one is really nice and has lovely gardens too…read more The history is not one of cars. Nope, no relation to Dodge. Just a lovely middle class family. Abbey Dodge was one of the first women to graduate from college in the USA. The home has lovely furnishings but not much description, even though I got a brochure on it, some displays had no info.There are two old sewing machines upstairs. The plaques on them say who donated them but not what year they were or anything. I just can't abide by that piece of missing history People need timelines. Also, again, no postcards. Your business needs to sell postcards. Make revenue to help restore the home. Anyway, I did enjoy walking through the home. Upstairs is a 1860s organ. When it was found in a barn damaged, they found a cannonball in it from the civil war. The organ was completely restored and is upstairs in the game room at the Turner Dodge House. A nice quick visit, enjoy...

I can't believe my sister has lived in Okemos for so long and never took me here before. If you want a glimpse as to what 19th century life was like in the Lansing area, then you need to come here and explore. It's open for tours by appointment only on Saturdays, but you can walk the grounds any day of the week. Here is a sampling of what you'll find: A Greek Revival-style farmhouse built between 1862-5. They know this because as historians were removing wallpaper they discovered newspapers that were used as insulation dated from those years. The farmhouse was relocated here from Marsh Road. Randall School, a one-room rural schoolhouse relocated from near Fowlerville. It cost $853.15 to build in 1883 and served 1st-8th graders. The Barnes House (1849), was the first frame house built in Okemos not using logs. The general store, and the log cabin from Haslett are both cool as well. My favorite thing to see though was the Tollgate House and the parts of the original wood planks from the toll road which travelers from Detroit took to get to the State Capitol in Lansing. A penny to cross is pretty damn cheap compared to the toll roads we drive these days! If you are in the area this is a great piece of Michigan history you don't want to pass by.

The Village is operated by the Friends of Historic Meridian, a non-profit organization formed in 1974 to create and sustain an active appreciation of local history. The Friends of Historic Meridian preserve and maintain the historic buildings, sponsor community events in the Village, and hold six free public lectures per year. The Village Chapel is a replica of a 19th Century church which once stood at the corner of Okemos Rd and Methodist St in the Village of Okemos, and is available for rent for weddings of up to 100 guests.
