From the center of the rotunda on the ground floor, visitors can look upward to the
dome and see forty-three stars, thirteen of which are larger to represent the thirteen
original colonies. All together, they indicate that Idaho was the forty-third state
to enter the union. On the grounds visitors will find three trees planted by presidents,
including a water oak planted by President Benjamin Harrison, whose proclamation admitted
Idaho into the union. Please note: the capitol in Idaho no longer participates in our program. They no longer carry the stamp for the Capitol Collection.
