The Governor's Mansion Foundation will resume volunteer-run tours of the Mansion on Wednesday, Sept. 3. Visitors can reserve a tour online.

The all-volunteer, nonpartisan, nonprofit Governor's Mansion Foundation designs and organizes 30-minute tours showcasing the history of the building and its furnishings, art and library collections. Tours also include the family photo display of the six state governors who served before the Mansion's completion.

Also known as the Executive Residence, the Mansion has been the home of 17 governors and their families. Completed in 1909, it's the oldest building at the Capitol Campus. As part of the State Capitol Historic District, it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places and on the National Votes for Women Trail.

Tours take place Wednesday, Sept. 3 and Wednesday, Sept. 10, every half-hour from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Find a link to sign up on the Governor's Mansion tours page.
