Dating back to 1792, the New Jersey State House is the second oldest state capitol in the country, and it's one of the only ones that doesn't bear a close resemblance to the US Capitol. The building has undergone expansions and renovations several times throughout the centuries, and in 1999, the dome was restored and covered with 48,000 pieces of gold leaf. Free guided tours of the building are offered Monday through Friday and on every other Saturday; the tours take approximately one hour, and visitors are kindly asked to call and make a reservation in advance.
