Enjoy a guided tour of the State House. The stops may include the Bell Room, where Rhode Island's replica of the Philadelphia Liberty Bell is displayed; the State Room, where Gilbert Stuart's famous portrait of George Washington hangs; and the Rotunda, where you can gaze upward at one of the world's largest, self-supported marble domes.     This is a working building that houses the Rhode Island General Assembly and the offices of the Governor,  Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and General Treasurer of Rhode Island.  Voices must be kept soft, and no running is allowed.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your tour time to pass through security. This is a guided group tour that lasts about an hour.

All bags will be searched, so to save time, bring in as little as possible.
