Description
New Jersey’s State House is the third oldest in continuous use in the nation, and it’s full of history. Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State Tahesha Way and others give us a tour behind the scenes of the newly renovated capitol building, where treasures and rare art mix with the bustle of state lawmaking. Margaret O’Reilly, executive director of the State Museum of New Jersey, describes working with outgoing governors on their official portraits, and Erica Freeman, the tour program coordinator, provides insight into the State House’s historic collections.
