I thought _“should I try the Utah State Capital?”_󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/96fd6-img_3318.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### I didn’t want to become “that” Uncle. You know the one that drags you to boring places that kids have no interest in whatsoever.󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/e33f5-img_3319-1-2.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### Luckily, that didn’t happen. The State capital is a beautiful building, inside and out. It feels like a museum, full of fascinating history about the State, and the building of the Capital itself, which was completed in 1912. ##### The kids found their local Representative offices, a statue of 󠀁[Philo T. Farnsworth](http://ilovehistory.utah.gov/people/difference/farnsworth.html)󠁿, the founder of Television and coincidentally a relative of theirs, and learned all kinds of interesting facts about Utah. ##### _“Is this where Trump will live?”__ _ ##### I smiled and shook my head no, and thought… ##### at least they are interested in learning about how our country works in regards to laws and policies. ##### Which in itself made the trip 100% worthwhile. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/adventures-at-the-utah-state-capital/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Adventures%20at%20the%20Utah%20State%20Capital&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fadventures-at-the-utah-state-capital%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/adventures-at-the-utah-state-capital/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/adventures-at-the-utah-state-capital/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/adventures-at-the-utah-state-capital/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/adventures-at-the-utah-state-capital/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
