The Governor’s Mansion is the official residence of our governor. Built in 1908 and first occupied in 1909, the Governor’s Mansion is the oldest building on the state Capitol’s West Campus. It has been fully restored and furnished with many antiques from the American Federal period (1790s-1830s). As part of the State Capitol Historic District, the Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well as individually on the National Votes for Women Trail.
