Next is Scholz Garten, the oldest beer garden in Texas and home
to some fine barbeque. Lunch features smoked brisket and turkey,
potato salad, coleslaw, beans, bread, soft drinks and a scoop
of Amy’s Mexican vanilla ice cream. Following lunch we will
have time to stroll the State Capitol grounds and take in a little
“sidewalk history” before our scheduled tour.
Our Capitol tour will begin in the south foyer with its impressive
statues and a terrazzo floor depicting the twelve battles fought on
Texas soil. A Capitol Guide, well versed in the Capitol’s history
and lore, will guide us through the rotunda and dome, House
and Senate chambers, Governor’s public reception room, and the
Supreme Court. We will finish in the Capitol Extension with a
short question and answer session.
