Clarke seniors visit Iowa secretary of state’s office

DES MOINES— Seniors from Clarke Community High School recently toured the historic office of Secretary of State Paul Pate at the Iowa State Capitol.

They were provided an informational tour of the office, which included examining the original handwritten Iowa Constitution and learning about the rich architectural history of the Iowa Secretary of State’s Capitol Office.

“Iowa has one of the most impressive state capitols in the country,” said Secretary Pate. “It is a historical treasure all Iowans should visit.”

The secretary's capitol office is open for public tours on weekdays 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., separate from or in conjunction with a state capitol tour. Visit http://www.sos.iowa.gov for more information.
