Did you know . . .
Each state is allowed to have 2 statues in the Capitol? Yep.
It is up to the state to decide which statue they would like
to be placed in the National Statuary Hall Collection.
There are a few rules for statues, however. The statues must be:
1) Made of either bronze or marble
2) A person who was a citizen of the state
3) A person who has contributed to history
through distinguished civic or military services
Today, the National Statuary Hall Collection consists of
100 statues.
