Yesterday, I went with my friends at work to the Iowa State Capital. It was so fun because this was my 11th time and I already knew a lot of information about the Iowa State Capital. Here is some information about the Iowa State Capital: The capital of the state of Iowa is Des Moines. It is a pretty big city and the capital building has a gold top. People have actually tried to climb to the top and cut gold off a piece, but the cops came and arrested them. It's a fun town with a good amount of people. Iowa is known as "The Hawkeye State".
