Virtual Historic Tour of the Governor's Mansion Inn

Learn about the architecture and history of those who lived in this historic property

For those who have missed our historic architecture walking tours or those simply interested in history, we bring you a virtual opportunity for a historic architecture tour INSIDE the Governor’s Mansion Inn!

Your docent, Bill Swan, will take you through this beautifully renovated Italianate-style sandstone house at 130 E. Gilman St., while talking about the history of the property through those that lived here.

Since its beginning in 1855, this home has seen high society parties of the then rich and famous, served as the official residence of several Wisconsin governors, and provided housing to a unique group of students. Today it welcomes guests as the Governor’s Mansion Inn. Hear the stories that make this house come alive, while viewing the gorgeously appointed, newly renovated rooms.
