Where do I go once I get to the State House?
The entrance to the building is via the General Hooker Entrance, which is at 24 Beacon Street at the top of Park Street. Walk towards the statue of General Hooker, up the stairs, and through security. All visitors will be screened by security and must go through metal detectors.
