After four years, the Minnesota State Capitol restoration project is almost complete. Thanks to the tireless work of state employees, construction workers, and craftsmen and women, our State Capitol building has been restored to its original glory. To celebrate, Governor Dayton and Lt. Governor Tina Smith invite you to join them for the official State Capitol Grand Opening Celebration over the weekend of August 11 to 13, 2017.
