New Hampshire’s State Capital

New Hampshire’s state capital has a dome of gold.

It was built in 1819 so it’s very old. It is made of granite and it’s very strong.

It’s very tall and very long. In Concord you can go on a tour If you want to learn some more.

That’s New Hampshire’s state capital building.
