Belmont was the original capital of the Wisconsin Territory. Its court house and council house have been restored over the last century. The ornate, stately Capitol at the center of Madison is one of Wisconsin's most recognizable landmarks, but the four-winged building that hosts lawmakers and visitors today isn't the original.
