The Governor's Mansion of Texas
Welcome to the Texas Governor’s Mansion!
This premier historic home of Texas has served as the official residence of Texas governors and their families since 1856. It is the fourth oldest governor’s residence continuously occupied in the United States and the oldest governor’s mansion west of the Mississippi River.
On June 8th, 2008, the Texas Governor’s Mansion suffered a devastating fire due to arson. Even though the Mansion was empty and all its prized contents in storage, significant structural and architectural damage occurred. It will cost millions of dollars to restore the national historic landmark. This house belongs to all Texans and you can make a difference! Please make a donation, large or small, to restore the Governor’s Mansion by contributing to the Texas Governor’s Mansion Restoration Fund.
