Little state, big capitol: That's Rhode Island. It could almost be mistaken for the national capitol in Washington. From colonial times until the early 20th century, however, "Little Rhody" had more than one capitol, including the Old Colony House (below). Rhode Island was the last of the thirteen to ratify the new Constitution: on this date in 1790. [👆2018 and 👇2008]
