Governor's Mansion

1526 H St, Sacramento, CA
Tel: (916) 323-3047 Web: Visit this site »
 

The Governor's mansion, built in 1877, has 14-foot ceilings, crystal chandeliers, ornate moldings, Persian carpets, Italian marble fireplaces and French mirrors. Many Governors' wives, including Nancy Reagan, have remodeled the home. Among the famous guests who stayed in the mansion were Teddy Roosevelt and Jack Kennedy. Each room is furnished from a different era, so the tour is also a history of furniture. Tours are on the hour and guides must accompany visitors. Tours are USD1 for adults (16 and over); under 16 is admitted free. The gift shop is filled with historic memorabilia.

  • Beautiful mansion - interesting history.
  • The horrible tour guide that ruined the experience.

“The mansion itself is beautiful and worth visiting. The reason for my low rating is the horrible tour guide that ruined it for my daughter and myself. Rather than giving us a tour of the mansion, he insisted on telling us every single irrelevant fact about the 8 governors that lived in the mansion. He made us stand in the foyer while he lectured us, fact by boring fact, on every single one. All we wanted to do was see the mansion, learn a little of its history, and enjoy the visit. We were so upset with his tour that I made the excuse that we had another appointment and needed to leave. He never did get around to talking about the home itself - any information we got on the furnishings or architectural features was because I specifically asked about them. He was too busy trying to give us the information that he felt was interesting. It was just horrible - words really can't describe it adequately.”
