Karen Spilka '75
Join fellow Cornell alumni for a special tour of the Massachusetts State House in Boston. We will begin with a 45 minute docent-led guided tour, followed by a “behind the scenes” tour of the Senate Chamber with State Senator Karen Spilka (Cornell ’75). There will be an opportunity to ask questions and a group photo will be taken by the State House photographer.
Meet at 11:30 am on Monday, January 11, 2016 in Doric Hall at the State House. Participants will need to go through a security checkpoint. The event will end by 1:00 pm. If there is interest, we will find a restaurant nearby to have lunch afterwards.

About The State House
The Massachusetts State House, designed by Charles Bulfinch, the leading architect of his time, is a grand repository of history as well as an architectural treasure. With a cornerstone laid by Samuel Adams in 1795, and a dome coppered by Paul Revere in 1802, its marble-floored corridors and spacious ceremonial rooms are filled with works of art depicting our state’s unique heritage.
