TOUR THROUGH THE OLD CAPITOL BUILDING
  The stately O1.n C{\i’I']`OL, standing in what was in 1827 the
  very heart of Frankfort, is little changed in appearance since
j the early days when history was being made there. Acquired by
2 the State Historical Society in 1920 a11d converted to its present
-· use as a museum, the building contains a. wide variety of antiq-
uities, including military relics, historical paintings, documents,
V costumes, weapons, and household gear.
A massive double door, set within a broad, classically de-
signed portico, gives entrance to the building. The floors of the
Q wide hall are ot "Kentucky River marble," polished by more
  than a century ot use. Ou the walls hang paintings which recall
Kentucky’s historic past. Among these is a portrait of Landon
Sneed, by Chester Harding, Massachusetts portrait painter who
spent several years in Kentucky; Nicola Marschall`s copy of the
portrait of Daniel Boone by Harding; a portrait of Richard Meni-
fee. said to be by Oliver Frazer. a pupil of Matthew Harris Jouett,
p Kentucky’s "old Q\laster"; portraits of Abraham Lincoln and
Jefferson Davis, by unidentified artists; and a painting of the
dramatic Simon ]\j(’7ltO‘}l`·S‘ Ride by Walcutt.
Facing the entrance is a. brass cannon, first captured at the
Battle of Saratoga, later lost to the British by Hull’s surrender
of Detroit during the War of 1812, and recaptured by Kentucky
  troops at the Battle of the Thames. Just back of the cannon
  is a multi-barreled gun called a "street sweeper", used during the
E War between the States.
if Rooms open on each side of the hall, that on the left leading
g to the Lriziuiar (open to rcscurtzlz. ioorkcrs), containing about
`? nine thousand volumes, many of them now extremely rare.
§ Among these is the Stephenson collection, presented to the His-
  torical Society by Misses Mary and Martha Stephenson, in mem-
' ory of their brother, the late W. XV. Stephenson, historian of
Mercer County; the Lewis Jones Library, containing rare Eng-
lish genealogical material; and the Willard Rouse Jillson collec—
  tion of historical publications, including maps of the Kentucky
  Geological Survey. In addition there are many bound volumes
- of important newspapers ot Kentucky and valuable source 1nate—
  rial contained in copies of tombstone inscriptions and Bible rec-
  ords. The society adds from time to time publications of other

State historical and patriotic organizations, as well as all avail- pupj
able material relating to Kentucky. None of the books are mu,
circulated, but the library is in constant use by those engaged f may
in historical and genealogical research. y dgu,
The Ancmvms Room, across the hall, contains a collection l T_ }
of State archives, dating from 1792, when Kentucky attained
‘ statehood, to 1915. These records, transferred from the office mm
of the Secretary of State to the custody of the Historical Society Vail
in 1926, consist of bound volumes of executive and legislative Luc;
journals and numerous docu1nents kept in file cases. Military
records, including letterbooks, pay rolls, certificates of service, wall
and other data relating to Kentucky’s part in various wars, cov- begi
ering a period of more than one hundred years, are also on file. _ east
These were transferred from the office of the Adjutant General by (
Lo the Historical Society in 1935. Valuable source material is serv
V contained in tax lists, some as early as 1787, bearing the name byol
"Tithables." These contain the names of white males over i ,HuH
twenty-one years of age, with the amount of land, number of `Coll
slaves, horses, and cattle, as reported annually from each county by t
in the State. case
\Vithin the Roroxm, opposite the entrance on the main ofP
floor, is a section of the first railway track laid in the State in corn
1831. The stone sleepers, running parallel with the rail, proved is a
unsuccessful, and were followed by the modern cross tie. There the
'is a section of water pipe constructed of wood, a portion of jul-6
F1·ankfort’s first water system laid from Cedar Cove Spring in ` 1847
1804. On the right wall is an old print of the First Ovariotomy one
Operation, performed by Dr. Ephraim McDowell in Danville, colu
Ky., 1809. In the right wing of the transverse hall are three exte
glass cases of mounted birds found in Kentucky. , in c
Perhaps the finest architectural feature of the entire build- l the
ing is the graceful Cmoutan Srnriuvnr which rises from the floor Libr
of the rotunda to the balcony above. Designed of Kentucky . Rick
River marble by Gideon Shryock, it is so constructed that the (187
secret of its structure is the keystone at the top. On the circn— man
lar walls of the stairway are engravings from the original edi- . me-
tion of Birds of America by the great ornithologist, John James ings
Audubon, and a map of Kentucky made in 1818 from actual sur-
vey by Dr. Luke Munsell. It was the first map to be officially , into
accepted by the State. _' to V
V On the walls of the rotunda balcony on the second floor are   I-mls
paintings by Kentucky artists. These include: Little Blonde   stan
Girl, an original by Frank Duveneck, a copy of Whistling Boy iv (gm).

e artists, Robert Burns Wilson, and Paul Sawyier. There are also
. marble busts of Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, John J. Critten-
» den, and Ge11. James Taylor, said to be the best work of Joel
1 ` T. Hart, Kentucky’s sculptor.
l A glass case in the second floor hall contains the mohair
2 lining of the great fur coat worn by George Xl/ashington at
J Valley Forge; another contains the uniform of Rear Admiral
2 Lucien Young.
J The S12N.x·r1s Cnamuiznc, at the head of the stairs, has on its
e, walls a notable collection of portraits, all Governors of Kentucky,
V- beginning with Isaac Shelby (1792-1796, 1812-1816). On the
z. _ east wall is a tliree-quarter length portrait of Abraham Lincoln
.l by Charles Sneed Williams. In this room is the 18-piece silver
s service from the battleship .K8'}lZllC]Cflj,' a fine old harpsichord,
e brought to Kentucky prior to 1830 by the father of Gen. John
>i‘ ~ ·.Hunt Morgan; a glass case containing a plaster bust of Stephen
if ` Collins Foster, and an old candle holder, said to have been used
y by the musician while writing My Old Kentucky Home. Another
case contains valuable old documents, one bearing the signature
n of Patrick Henry, another that of .]'ohn Quincy Adams. A quaint
n corner cupboard contains rare old china. Among war relics
ad is a horn made of wood by Capt. Robert Collins, used during
re the War of 1812, and a silver-mounted, black leather saddle cap-
of - tured from a Mexican officer at the Battle of Buena Vista in
in 1847. A feature of this room is the spacious elevated lobby at
Ll! 0119 end, separated from the main body of the chamber by Ionic
ie, columns supporting the entablature, with cornice and frieze
ee extending around the room. The ceiling is richly ornamented
_ in classic design. The SENATE CLOAKKOOMZ (now the office of
ld- the curator) on the right of the stairway, contains the Collins
OT Library purchased by the State of Kentucky from the estate of
ky Richard H, Collins, historian, author of History of Kentucky
he (1874). This library contains more than two thousand volumes;
wu- many of the books are on historical and religious subjects, and
di- » are very old and rare. On the walls of the room are old engrav-
lcs ings and prints of leaders of the Confederacy.
ur- 011 the north side of the rotunda balcony is the door leading
lly I into the Hoosn on REl’l(ESl£N'l`A'l`l\`ES, which contains, in addition
, to valuable historical paintings, a collection of relics and mate-
ire rials portraying the everyday life of the pioneer. The out-
tdc   standing feature of this room is the copy by Oliver Frazer of
*01/ { Gilbert Stuart’s full length portrait of George Washington. This
en, picture hangs directly over the speaker’s desk from which Henry

Clay and other great orators addressed the house. On the left '
of the entrance is CoNFmmR.xrn Conner: containing many relics
of the period from 1861 to 1865. There is a portrait of Jefferson .
Davis by J. P. Walker, rare old prints of Confederate generals,
flags, documents, old newspapers and costumes of the period.
Grouped around the mantel in the northwest corner of the room is
a collection of household utensils of the pionee1· period. Ove1· the
mantel hangs an imaginary portrait of Daniel Boone by William I
Allen. On the left of the speaker’s desk, in a small glass case,
is a blanket woven by the wife and daughter of Simon Kenton, `
and on the right the first treasury chest of the State of Ken-
tucky. Nearby in a window stand the old scales from the State
treasurer’s office, used to weigh the bits of gold money before
coins of specific value came into use. On each side of the desk are
furled battle flags of Kentucky. Among these historic relics,
most prized of all, is the case containing the long rifle, powder
horn, and a few other personal belongings of Daniel Boone. In
the same case is a child’s blue calico dress worn by little Betsy
Grant, niece of Daniel Boone, during the siege of Bryan Station.
In this case reposes the pistol used by Aaron Burr in his duel
with Alexander Hamilton. The full length portrait of Lafayette,
painted from life by Matthew Harris Jouett, occupies a prom-
inent place on the north wall with William Frye’s portrait of
_ Henry Clay. Conspicuous on the east wall is William Allen’s
portrait of Gen. Zachary Taylor on his famous horse, "Old
Whitey." Cases in this room contain collections of various
articles of wearing apparel and handicraft of pioneer women.
In the gallery on the south side of the room is a fine collection
of firearms used in the wars in which Kentuckians have taken
part. ._
