Clay Williams visited Mississippi’s Old State Capitol in Jackson, talked about the roles of the state’s legislature, and highlighted the building’s architecture including its Greek revival style, copper dome and grand interior spaces. Mississippi’s Old State Capitol was built in 1839, and now operates as a museum. It was the site of some of the state’s significant legislative actions, including Mississippi’s secession from the Union in 1861 and the crafting of the 1868 and 1890 state constitutions.
