The famous ‘silver dome’ of the capitol, representing the Silver State, was never silver at all, starting originally as tin covered steel and now consisting of silver colored fiberglass, but this should not diminish a truly unique and historical building. Within the capitol are numerous murals and displays depicting aspects of the state’s history, some naming the mineral resources that have built the state.
