content: Wow, we just came here just in time on the day before Labor Day.  Only tour is at 1PM which was nice to plan ahead on our 4-hr drive from St. Paul/Minneapolis area.  The tour costs $3 for adults and $2 for children/students.  The tour is approximately 1 hour and we had a great tour with our docent, Jane.  She normally does the tour in the winter time but apparently summer time most volunteers opt out.  To our fortunate accident, Jane gave a wonderful tour of the different floors as well as outside facing the State Capitol.  We finally realized how FLW imagined how his hometown's convention center should look and feel.  I can't believe he did this for only $250 out of a labor of love.  Jane took the time to answer all questions as well as share photos and old carpeting so we knew how things used to look before some renovations.  There was a wedding banquet and almost wished we lived closer to even dream of this place.  Get here early since it looks like summer tours fill up.  There were 18 total but didn't seem to mind that we had a slightly larger crowd.  The gift shop was a bit pricey and didn't seem to find anything to our liking.  Afterwards you can walk towards the State Capitol on MLK and take a free tour.
