Governor's Mansion State Historic Park Details

This 3-story Victorian mansion in Sacramento has historically been the main residence for California state governors. Fourteen different governors have lived in the house since 1877, although it remained unoccupied from 1967 to 2015 and 2019 until the present day. After an extensive remodel in 2015, the home reopened to the public. However, simply admiring its beautiful century-old facade from the street is also worth the visit.
