Governor's Mansion State Historic Park
Governor's Mansion State Historic Park, Victorian mansion in downtown Sacramento, United States.
The Governor's Mansion features thirty rooms across three stories, constructed with Second Empire and Italianate Victorian architectural elements from 1877.
This mansion served as the official residence for thirteen California governors from 1903 to 1967 before becoming a state historic park.
The interior preserves original furnishings from former governors, including Governor Pardee's Steinway piano and Governor Johnson's velvet chairs.
The mansion stands at the intersection of 16th and H streets in Sacramento, with a carriage house containing the entrance and gift shop.
Following a 4.1 million dollar renovation in 2015, the mansion returned to its role as the governor's residence until 2019.

Sacramento offers a journey through Californian history, from the 1849 Gold Rush to today. The Old Sacramento district retains its 1850 brick buildings and Victorian facades, while the California State Capitol overlooks the city with its 16-hectare gardens. The California State Railroad Museum features more than 20 restored locomotives, witnesses to the railway development in the American West. The Crocker Art Museum, founded in 1885, houses 15,000 artworks in a building that combines heritage and modernity. The city also reveals its industrial and pioneering past. Fort Sutter, reconstructed to exact detail, recalls the founding settlement of John Sutter. The Tower Bridge of 1935 spans the Sacramento River with its golden bascule structure. Thematic museums like the California Automobile Museum with 150 historic vehicles complete this exploration. The American River and its riverside trails provide natural spaces alongside urban sightseeing.
