Old Governor's Mansion, National Historic Landmark and house museum in Milledgeville, United States
The Old Governor's Mansion exhibits Greek Revival architecture with stuccoed brick walls, a rectangular layout, and a hip roof across two stories.
Between 1839 and 1868, this mansion functioned as Georgia's executive residence, hosting eight governors before the capital moved to Atlanta in 1868.
The museum presents exhibits about antebellum society, exploring the experiences of both free individuals and enslaved people during the nineteenth century.
Guided tours of the mansion take place from Tuesday through Saturday between 10 AM and 4 PM, with additional Sunday afternoon visits.
General William Sherman occupied this mansion during his March to the Sea campaign, spending the night of November 23, 1864 in the family dining room.
