Texas Governor’s Mansion
Take a reserved guided tour of the historic executive residence across from the Capitol. This short interior visit requires advance planning and security screening rather than spontaneous entry.
The mansion places Texas government inside a domestic building that has housed governors since 1856. Its historic rooms offer a useful contrast to the public chambers of the Capitol. Choose the tour for architecture and the people associated with the house, and build the rest of your day around the confirmed appointment.
