History
This Colonial Revival Executive Mansion served as home to Wyoming’s Governors and their families for 71 years, (1905-1976). The Mansion’s history brings to life the people who served the state of Wyoming and the Nation from this location. The greatest distinction of the home is that in 1925 it was the first in the United States to be occupied by a woman Governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross. This gracious and stately home has hosted neighborhood children to U.S. Presidents. It is now your turn to be our guest. Self guided tours of the Mansion uses electronic touch-screen videos and cell-phone audio tours to learn about the former Governors, First Ladies, Women’s Suffrage, the Cold War Era and Mansion architecture.
