A Visit to the Arizona Capitol Museum

The first territorial capital of Arizona was Fort Whipple, an army post near Prescott. The capital was later moved to Prescott . In 1867 the territorial capital was moved to Tucson. In 1877, the capital moved back to Prescott. Phoenix became Arizona's permanent capital city in 1889 and, in that year, the construction of the Phoenix state Capitol building began. Completed in 1900, the cost of the building was about $136,000. The Arizona State Capitol Building was dedicated on February 25, 1901. It was designated a museum in 1977.

The Arizona State Capitol Museum was the actual state capitol building when Arizona became the 48th state of the United State in 1912 . The Governor's Office was located here until the mid-70s. Although the rooms of the Arizona State Capitol Museum are no longer used for state business, the Governor's Office, other departments and the Senate and House of Representatives are in adjacent buildings.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .

Tip: When you visit the museum, you'll note that it isn't especially fancy or hi-tech. This building is deliberately very similar to the original, so don't expect fancy lighting or big screen videos. The goal here is authenticity.

Who Should Go?

The museum is open to the public, but you can be certain that it is highly utilized by local schools for educational purposes.

School Groups and Guided Tours

Reservations are required for all student groups and other larger guided tours. The guided tours focus on the north wing of the 2nd and 3rd floors (offices, House Chamber) and last for about 45 minutes followed by a visit to one of the current Legislative chambers for about half an hour.

Small Groups and Individuals

You are encouraged to visit the Arizona State Capitol Museum during regular hours and tour the exhibits on your own. Stop at the information desk off the main rotunda when entering the building and pick up a flyer with a museum map. Volunteers are available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to interpret the exhibits and answer questions for visitors. From 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 pm the north wing of the 2nd and 3rd floors is set aside for guided tours. If you would rather visit when the museum has fewer large groups, the afternoon is your best bet.

Of Interest to Educators

If you can't get your students out on a field trip to the Arizona Capitol Museum, check online for available traveling exhibits about Arizona and its history.

Factoid: The motto Ditat Deus on the Great Seal of the State of Arizona means God Enriches .

What You'll See

The Arizona Capitol Museum has exhibits on four floors. I suggest that you take the elevator to the top and work your way down! On the 4th floor, you can look down into the original House Chamber from the gallery. On the 3rd Floor, you'll learn about territorial Arizona, how a bill becomes a law and you'll get to know the people of Arizona. This is the level where the Chamber is located. On the second floor of the museum, you'll get a glimpse into the offices, including the Governor's office, Secretary of State and Mining Inspector. Is Governor Hunt in today? I think he is! On this level, you'll find artwork from the Arizona Capitol Museum collection. Back to the main floor. In addition to the State Seal on the rotunda floor, you'll see items salvaged from the USS Arizona after the Pearl Harbor attack and learn about its history, see an exhibit about Arizona's state symbols, and see a fascinating exhibit about the Merci Train (Gratitude Train).

Did you know that each of the 48 states and Washington D.C. received a rail car full of gifts from France after WWII? You can see a display of the items that were in Arizona's boxcar at the Merci Train exhibit. The actual boxcar is located at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale.

Tip: On your way to the Museum Shop stop and compare the mosaic of the Seal of Arizona in the rotunda floor to the Seal of Arizona by the front door. What's missing on the seal on the floor? If you can't find it, ask a volunteer!

The Arizona state Capitol is over 100 years old. Here are some key moments from its history

For over a century, the Arizona state Capitol has been a central hub for the state's government in Phoenix. Widely recognized as the home of the Governor's Office, state Legislature, and the Arizona Capitol Museum, the building has witnessed decades of history — from gunslinging cowboys taking shots at its famous statue to a sellout deal during the Great Recession era.

Embark on a journey through Arizona's state history to explore the Capitol's origins during its territorial days and the evolution that brought it to the modern day.

Here's what you need to know about the Capitol, from its past to the present.

Why did Phoenix become the capital of Arizona?

Although it may seem unimaginable for present-day Arizonans to envision a time when sun-drenched Phoenix wasn't the seat of the state's government, Arizona's capital moved so frequently throughout history that it earned the nickname "capital on wheels."

In 1863, Tucson and Prescott were contenders for Arizona's territorial capital. Initially, Prescott was selected, but then it shifted to Tucson before ultimately returning to Prescott as legislators from both towns battled over Arizona's seat of government, according to Marshall Trimble, the official state historian.

In 1889, Phoenix, a rapidly growing and youthful town, competed against Prescott to become Arizona's capital. Situated between Prescott and Tucson, Phoenix emerged victorious in the contest through a legislative vote.

A permanent Capitol building was constructed for the Legislature in Phoenix, and the “capital on wheels” finally settled down.

What does the Arizona state Capitol look like?

The first permanent capitol building ever constructed in Arizona still stands in Phoenix, but has undergone various transformations since opening its doors in 1901 as Arizona’s Territorial Capitol. Today, the Arizona state Capitol includes not only this original Capitol but also the executive tower, as well as the state House and state Senate buildings.

Famed architect James Riely Gordon won a contest to design the structure of the historic Capitol, which cost over $135,000. His vision for the building utilized materials native to the then-territory, such as granite from the mountains near Phoenix, tufa from Prescott and white oak from the forests in northern Arizona, symbolizing the region's wealth of natural resources.

Although Gordon's vision materialized into a four-story Beaux-Arts beauty complete with Roman columns, the centerpiece of his plan — a copper dome in honor of Arizona’s copper mining industry — didn't initially make it onto the real-life structure.

To reduce costs, the dome was initially constructed from sheet metal coated in copper-colored paint. It wasn’t until 1975 that companies in the Arizona Mining Association donated enough resources to sheath the dome in copper, finally realizing the Copper State Capitol’s famous centerpiece in line with Gordon’s original vision.

As Arizona grew, the original Capitol became overcrowded, prompting the construction of two new state House and state Senate buildings around 1960. These structures extended like wings from the sides of the historic Capitol. In the 1970s, another addition was made to the state Capitol — the executive tower, a nine-story brutalist building that became home to the Governor’s Office and other agencies.

Arizona Capitol Museum

For decades, the original Capitol served as the sole home of Arizona’s state government. However, once the state Legislature and the Governor’s Office moved into their own buildings, the historic Capitol underwent restoration and was reborn as the Arizona Capitol Museum in 1979.

A popular destination for field trips and local history buffs, the museum aims to teach visitors about all things Arizona history, from government to the arts.

Some exhibits at the museum feature restored portions of the original Capitol, including a display showcasing the appearance of the historic state House chamber during the Arizona Constitutional Convention in 1910. The museum also proudly houses a 7-foot-tall Arizona flag constructed from 114,006 Lego bricks, representing the total number of square miles in the state.

The museum is free to the public, and it is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

What is the history of the Arizona state Capitol?

While the original Capitol still stands in Phoenix, the building has a troubled architectural history due to the state’s population growth. In the 1950s, the decades-old structure faced issues such as leaks, pest infestations, and inadequate heating and cooling.

In response, a group of architects from Arizona’s top firms was commissioned to design a new, more spacious building. They proposed a plan to construct a 20-story office tower adjacent to the original Capitol, with low wings extending from the sides for the state House and state Senate.

The estimated cost was roughly $8 million. However, Arizona resident Frank Lloyd Wright, then widely regarded as the world’s leading living architect, was unimpressed. He believed the desert state deserved a Capitol unlike any other.

Instead, Wright presented his vision for a new $5 million Capitol located in Papago Park, which he named "Oasis." The design featured a 400-foot-wide canopy plated in blue oxidized copper, covering verdant botanical gardens. Wright's vision seemed to be plucked straight from a futuristic woodland utopia.

Ultimately, Oasis never materialized due to its location in Papago Park, which was outside of Phoenix city limits. Constructing a government building there would have violated the Arizona Constitution. Even today, however, fans of Wright still mourn the Capitol that could've been.

Can you tour the Arizona state Capitol?

The Arizona Capitol Museum provides free tours of the original Capitol for visitors throughout the day. Walk-in tours are available for groups smaller than 10, offered at 2 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. However, larger groups of 10-60 members, such as school field trips, must reserve guided tours at least a week in advance.

Guided tours are conducted every weekday from September to May, with time slots at 9:30 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 11 a.m., noon, 12:45 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Two tours are offered at each time slot. Visitors on guided tours starting between 9:30 a.m. and noon also have the option for an additional 30-minute tour of either the state Senate or state House building.

Who owns the Arizona state Capitol?

While the Arizona state Capitol has always served as the home of the state government, the state hasn't always owned its home. Amid the Great Recession, former Gov. Jan Brewer and the state Legislature sold the Capitol in 2009, netting the state roughly $1.4 billion.

The deal was aimed at addressing a $3 billion budget shortfall, but critics on TV and across social media disapproved of the move.

For roughly a decade, Arizona paid rent on the properties until it was announced in January 2019 that the state would be borrowing money to buy back the Capitol.

What statue is on top of the Arizona state Capitol?

Adorning the summit of the Capitol's iconic copper dome is Winged Victory, a 17-foot-tall zinc statue depicting Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. This stark white statue stands out against Phoenix's typically azure skies.

The 600-pound statue was cast in 1889, so it wasn’t specifically designed for the Capitol, Trimble said. However, Winged Victory eventually made its way to Arizona from Ohio in 1898, after the then-territory purchased it for $150 while the Territorial Capitol was being built.

Since then, the statue has managed to stand atop every iteration of the building — but not without taking some damage.

In the days when Arizona was still a territory, Trimble recounted that cowboys would ride to Washington Street to visit the saloons. After enjoying some drinks, they would proceed to the Capitol and use Winged Victory for target practice.

Since the statue also functions as a wind vane, standing on a rotating pedestal, Trimble believes the cowboys took pleasure in watching Winged Victory spin as their bullets struck its wings.

In the 1950s, some legislators grew dissatisfied with being greeted by the rotating statue's back as they entered the Capitol. Consequently, Winged Victory was welded in place, ensuring its front faced the entrance in a more respectful manner. However, this change was short-lived, and by 1975, the statue was once again free to move with the winds.

Arizona State Capitol and its collection

The Arizona State Capitol, located in Phoenix, Arizona, has a rich history as it once housed the territory and state legislature, along with various executive offices. Today, these offices have been relocated to surrounding buildings, and the building itself has been transformed into the Arizona Capitol Museum. This transition allows visitors to delve into the history of Arizona in a unique and immersive way.

Exhibits at the Arizona Capitol Museum

The Arizona Capitol Museum offers a comprehensive look into the history and culture of Arizona. Exhibits range from the early days of the state to the present, covering a variety of topics. These include Arizona's state symbols, historical figures, natural history, the role of the state, and the history of Arizona's appointment to statehood. The museum also features the USS Arizona and photographs by Edward S. Curtis, providing a diverse and enriching experience for visitors.

Architecture of the Arizona State Capitol

The Arizona State Capitol building is a testament to Arizona's natural resources and climate. Constructed largely from native materials like granite and featuring a copper dome, the building is a symbol of the state's rich natural resources. The design of the building is optimized for Arizona's desert climate, with thick masonry walls that insulate the interior, skylights, and round clerestory windows that keep the heat away from the chambers' plenary halls. This unique architectural design adds to the overall experience of visiting the museum.

Prisco's final 2024 NFL Mock Draft: Giants trade up for Drake Maye; Vikings let QB come to them

Prisco predicts a qb blitz in his final nfl draft mock.

OK, so here is some explaining for those who don't follow along, and judging by the past few days that means most of you. 

This mock draft is a predictive mock draft, not a who-they-should-take mock. It's just a plain, old predictive mock, one that you can grade for accuracy (and I really don't give a crap how it works out). This how I think it will go, not how it should go. There's a difference.

Now back to my mock. 

For all our predictive mocks, we start 1-0. That's because the Chicago Bears will be drafting USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick. That's easy.

It gets a lot tougher.

I have LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels going second to the Washington Commanders, but I shake it up some after that. I have the New York Giants going up from No. 6 to No. 3 to draft North Carolina's Drake Maye. They make a deal to give up No. 6, a second-rounder this year and next year to the New England Patriots to go get Maye.

The Pats, in return, add much-needed draft capital and then take Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy at No. 6, a player they are supposedly enamored with in talking to people around the league. It would be a win-win for both teams, even if I think Maye is better.

The second trade I have in this mock is the Philadelphia Eagles going up to a corner. I have them trading up with the Denver Broncos to the 12th spot to land Alabama corner Terrion Arnold. They would give up their first-round pick -- No. 22 -- a second this year (No. 50) and fourth in 2025 to make the deal. 

Denver would trade back and take Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and add some much-needed draft picks to their books. 

So there you have it, the basics of my 2024 final mock draft. Do what you will with it -- and I am sure you will scream about it when it's blown up three picks into it. 

For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on  "With the First Pick"  -- our year-round  NFL Draft  podcast with  NFL Draft  analyst Ryan Wilson and former  Vikings  general manager Rick Spielman. You can find "With the First Pick" wherever you get your podcasts:  Apple Podcasts ,  Spotify ,  YouTube , etc.  

The 2024  NFL Draft  will take place from April 25-27 in Detroit. More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including the weekly  updated draft order  and a regularly available  look at the eligible prospects .
