A notable anniversary in Missouri history: the Governor s mansion
The Examiner
As our state celebrates its bicentennial this year, let’s not forget to celebrate another notable anniversary: the Missouri Governor’s Mansion.
The “People’s House” celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. It is one of the oldest governor’s mansions in the nation that has continually been used as an executive home.
But it’s much more than the temporary home for sitting governors and their families. It’s a public building, often open to events and tours.
Rebecca Gordon, executive director of Friends of the Missouri Governor’s Mansion, writes that the first executive residence was built in 1826 in the same block as the current executive mansion.
