Drumthwacket, Official residence of New Jersey Governor in Princeton, United States.
The Greek Revival mansion features symmetrical wings, tall white columns across the front facade, and occupies a 12-acre estate with formal gardens.
The property, dating from 1835, stands on land that belonged to William Penn and witnessed the Battle of Princeton in 1777.
The Drumthwacket Foundation preserves and presents the mansion's collection of period furniture, including pieces from Tiffany and Georgian-era British craftsmen.
The mansion opens for guided tours each Wednesday, requiring advance registration through the Drumthwacket Foundation website to explore the public reception rooms.
Moses Taylor Pyne transformed the estate in 1893 by adding two architectural wings and creating Italian gardens that define its current grand appearance.
