The National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol comprises statues donated by individual states to honor persons notable in their history. Originally set up in the old Hall of the House of Representatives, renamed National Statuary Hall, the expanding collection has since been spread throughout the Capitol. As of 2006, the collection consists of 101 statues contributed by 50 states. Virginia was authorized 3 statues, Presidents Washington and Jefferson as well as Robert E. Lee. With the addition of New Mexico's second statue in 2005, the collection is now complete.
