    The Governor's Residence

    Temporary Tour Pause

     As you are likely aware, the Governor's Residence was significantly damaged by an arson attack on April 13, 2025. As a result of the fire, tours are temporarily paused as we assess the building and prepare to welcome all Pennsylvanians and visitors back into the building that we all love so much. Please know there are people working around the clock to get this done, get the Residence back up and running, and allow tours to resume as soon as possible. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    Built on the Susquehanna River, the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence is a 29,000 square foot Georgian Style home designed by architect George Ewing. Completed in 1968, The Residence has served as a home to eight governors and their families. 

    The Residence has unique green features, beautiful gardens, a curated art collection, and is available for tours.
