An Unplanned Visit To The State Capitol

I planned to visit a museum inside the Arkansas School For The Deaf but I didn't realize I had to make a reservation. So then I decided to walk to a local park.

As I walked I realized this was the State Capitol so I went there instead. The police officer suggested I get a guide at an office and start on the fourth floor and walk down. The women at the tour guide office suggested I start on the second floor at the Treasurer's Office. They said I would be able to go into the vault and hold some of the real money.

I asked another young man where the Treasurer's Office was and he said he didn't know. Then he said it's right here. I told him what we could do in there and he decided to come in with me. He was from Houston, Texas. I was holding 23 pounds of money! I gave it back though.

That black key has been hanging there since 1915.

A view of one wing from the fourth floor.

I had a nice visit there today.
