Landmark Trivia
- Granite used to build the capitol came from the present day Swenson quarries; the cutting, shaping and facing of the stone was performed by inmates of the State Prison.
- The huge gold-painted wooden eagle, a fixture of the building, was raised to the top of the dome in 1818. In 1957, it was replaced with an element-proof replica, with the wooden eagle moved to the New Hampshire Historical Society.
