The Governor's Mansion is great. It is classic architecture and they always do a great job of decorating during different holiday seasons. It is in the older west part of town. A must drive by.
No public tours are available for the mansion, but you can drive by and gawk as much as you like. It's on a quiet little side street in a residential neighborhood. I was surprised by how large and ornate it was, compared to the capitol building we had just seen.
We stumbled upon the Governor's Mansion while driving through downtown. Was surprised that it is located in residential neighborhood. I expected a much larger residence, in a more secure, private area.
It's a joy to drive or walk by and enjoy the tasteful decorations they put up for each holiday season. I apologize to the Governor's family here for my dog marking the property, we walked there so much he 'marked' the trees as his home.
We came across the Governor's Mansion while doing a drive around the historic district. We knew the interior was closed to the public and so we just admired it from the car. My wife loved the old mansion across the street also.
I was invited to the Governor's Mansion in June for Music in the Garden, the Carson City Symphony and the Carson Chamber Singers, were performing and it was a delightful experience, beautiful gardens and music was relaxing. Take part in this June Event its worth your time. Guest Musicians are invited to play along with the Symphony. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, lots of water, no concession stands.
Even though you have to wait in line, The governor is taking photos with your kids and giving them candy. The Mansion is decked out with lights all over and decorations. They have performers. All the houses around the Mansion are decorated with lots of lights and fun stuff.
We drove by it, was not much to see. However, I am one for not wasting the taxpayers money on a house. The area is residential, just a 2-minute run from the former mint museum.
This was a very beautiful building... Very nice neighborhood! I could see us moving here when we retire. I wish I was the Governor.
no tours except on Nevada Day, so it is outside only, but that is still nice, as it is a pretty and historic building in a nice neighborhood, and very easy to get to
