The Governor's Mansion

The Georgia Governor's Mansion serves as the primary residence for the presiding governor and first lady of Georgia. Built in 1968, the Georgia Governor's Mansion spans 18 acres of wooded grounds off West Paces Ferry Road in Atlanta, Georgia. The beautiful 24,000 square-foot house is designed to mimic Greek Revival architecture and is adorned with 30 Doric columns along the front porch.

The mansion's list of previous residents includes Lester Maddox, Jimmy Carter, George Busbee, Joe Frank Harris, Zell Miller, Roy Barnes, Sonny Perdue, Nathan Deal and their respective families.

Public tours are conducted throughout the year Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. The tour is a hybrid of a guided and self-guided tour. It is recommended that you arrive before 11:00 to allow enough time to complete the tour before the Mansion closes at 11:30 a.m.
