Governor’s Mansion

Only in Nevada will you find the Governors Mansion opened to the public and available for fundraising events!
The staff and trustees that organize and supervise the events make the experience so pleasant.
Sitting in the quaint old west side of Carson with all the homes and large trees the setting is peaceful. Calm enough for mother for and her twins to come along and chew on the yard.

In California our Governor’s mansion is a historical landmark and unoccupied by the sitting Governor. In Nevada, I’m told, the sitting Governor actually resides in this Governors mansion, and I’m amazed how close visitors are permitted to admire the structure. The mansion is located in a modest residential area that adds to the feeling of accessibility of the Governor to the citizens of the State. Impressive! The grounds are well-​maintained, the building is Stately (but not over the top), and the overall size of the property seems consistent with the scale of the Capitol building and prestige of the elected office. For out-​of-​State visitors I think this is a must-​see (especially Californians)…may provide some useful perspective?

Free tours on Nevada Day. Very fun to mull around looking at the rooms. Most rooms are open down stairs while the upstairs rooms are roped off so you can only look inside. Very friendly staff and as an added plus, you receive a free cookie when you leave. Two thumbs up!
