Description
Hundreds of Johnson County settlers gathered around Old Capitol in the early 1850's for the Johnson County Fair. The building was still unfinished at this time and had not been completed in December, 1857, when it became the property of the State University of Iowa, which had been founded in 1847, only two months later than the beginning of Iowa statehood. During the 100 years that it has been a part of the SUI campus, Old Capitol has served as a focal point for University life.
