    When exploring a new city or town one good thing is to check out the state capitol and I just wanted to walk around. The first floor rotunda architecture and design are beautiful. Also on the first floor is the office of the governor's different departments. There's also a hallway that shows famous Montanans, the work they've done, and what they've contributed while still maintaining the qualities of a Montanan. On the third floor there are the Old Supreme Court chamber, the Senate chamber, and the House chamber. There are also galleries on the floor above to watch over the chambers. The day I visited I actually stumbled upon the award ceremony for the trooper who rescued four people from a helicopter crash which was so cool to see! The article is here: https://dojmt.gov/highway-patrol-dashcam-video-from-dnrc-helicopter-incident/ You won't spend too much time here but it is still nice to check out for a small amount of time.

    A beautiful state capital building in the charming town of Helena, the capital of Montana! Came in the morning and it was extremely quiet and scarce. I saw maybe a handful of people working and one other group touring the building. I saw no security whatsoever, but I guess that's expected in a small town in Montana. The capital is quite big compared to others I have toured. The building is filled with history and everything lends a hand to what Montana is all about. You know the architecture is something when I have to mention the restrooms. They are stunning! The building is well kept and the outside grounds are beautiful. If you're into touring capitals, Montana has a great one.

    Continuing my collection of State Capitols, we stopped by Helena Montana and added number 25. This is a massive installation. It looks to be as big as Denver and certainly bigger than Cheyenne. Completed in 1902, the building is made of Montana sandstone and granite. Lady Liberty is atop the copper-covered dome. There is plenty of free parking nearby, there are lots of statues on the grounds to see and certainly admire the ingenuity of building this massive structure here in Montana over one hundred years ago.

    4 stars for the architecture and landscaping it's very quiet here I guess a lot of people are working from home. I didn't go inside I hate wearing a mask but the outside is awesome. Worth stopping to see

    The first thing that struck me about the Montana State Capitol building in Helena, MT is that it isn't very big. You can walk around it in 5 minutes. It's a gorgeous, neo-classical building that was completed in 1902 and designed by Iowa architects Charles Bell and John Kent. Note the "Montana" figure on top of the rotunda that looks out over the Helena valley. It's definitely a must-see if you're in the area. You can enter the building during business hours.

    This is a gorgeous building . So impressive. Even the bathroom was clean. They spared no expense in building this. You also can get to see the senate & Supreme Court chambers.

    The Senate chambers and the Old Supreme Court were both pretty sweet.

    The cobblestone roads and steep hills make this a fun walk back through time along Reeder's Alley…read more There are some interesting old buildings and fences, all that have signs of wear and tear, but plenty of life left for us to appreciate.

    Reeder's Alley, one of Montana's oldest streets and longest survivors of man and nature, is a…read morebeautiful testament to the heart of Helena. It is on the national register of historic places and I could really feel the significance of this site when I was there. The alley is easy to miss as it is quite small and hidden from the new streets of Helena. However, there is a big arc sign over the start of the alley that says Reeder's Alley. Parking is on the street or in the few metered spots to the left of the alley. Walking through the arc, I was transported back in time. The brick road, brick buildings and log cabins are something that you don't see much of anymore. And the cracks and imperfections are all what signify the tragedies and realities that this place has gone through since the 1870's. There is an interpretive and convention center located in the back of the alley. Unfortunately, it wasn't open when I was there, but I'm sure there is a ton of interesting information about the place. It was awesome to see that the brick buildings are in use as well. There are several different businesses that are being run inside the alley like Dundee's Barber Shop, Saigon Alley, Top Sign and Graphics and Helena's Visitor Center. They also have one of my favorite things. A little free library. It's where you take a book and replace it with one of your own. Fun for everyone! Overall, Reeder's Alley shows a great deal of strength, heart and willingness to keep it's history alive and thriving.
