Though relatively small this is a great capitol building.  Great exterior look with some interesting features like a copper dome, very well manicured grounds and very pretty interior (though there isn't much of a museum).  Known as the State House the building is situated on a hill located right in the middle of downtown Columbia,  The grounds have a variety of statues and monument scattered about the capitol complex and plenty of the state symbol (and state tree), the palmetto adorn the grounds as well.
