The people that worked there were nice and friendly. The site was historical and full of portraits of previous RI governors. Free entrance.

There is not a great deal to do in Providence but the State House is worth a visit. Entry is free and the architecture is very impressive. It is a friendly place, with staff who are enthusiastic about what they do. You can go round on your own, which is nice, and, historically, it is fascinating.

I would definitely recommend requesting a guided tour which is available Monday through Friday except holidays year around. There is no cost to tour the building, with or without the guided tour.
