We have a great time exploring the Governor House and learning about history! The staff is friendly and dedicated to share information about history facts. The entry is free but you can give a donation. The house is fantastic. Stop by this place if you are in downtown Wyoming!

Mary Nippert

We loved this place. Just decided to explore it when going for a walk and it didn't disappoint. We've talked to our relatives who are local and told them they should visit this gem. It made me want to know more about Wyoming history.

Giovanni Silva

The self tour is free but a donation are appreciated. This place was cool to see along with a lot of original or replica pieces. You can take photos within the place. Probably will take you about 1hr to do the whole place but also depends on your speed. They have toilets on property.

Felicia Millen

Had been meaning to visit this for years! Surprised at how large the rooms were for such an old structure, beautiful antique furnishings. Not handicap accessible, many stairs. Self guided tour, information spots to text for information throughout home.

Christopher Smith

Great place to visit and explore! I worked here the summer after high school. I learned a lot and got to Meet so many wonderful ancestors and first family members of previous Wyoming Governors. This Mansion is a gem in Cheyenne and a must see if you enjoy architecture and history this is the place for you!

Stephan K

A beautiful place. Each room has been restored beautifully.

Amelia Dean

We visited on summer vacation and it was just lovely! The staff/curators were very knowledgeable and kind:) The home is well cared for as well as the old-timey artifacts. Worth a visit for sure!

Brent Henkelman

I love history! The old Governors mansion, here in Cheyenne, is one of my favorite kind of museums, free! I was allow about an hour or so to go through it, depending on how much time you want to spend, but the different areas of the house are dated in different eras from when is started in the early 1900s, through when it was decommissioned about a decade or two ago in the early 2000s. The staff are friendly, and willing to answer any questions you have. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you are a history buff like my wife and I, and it is a great opportunity if you have kids, to show them how things have changed throughout the generations.

Very well preserved and displayed. So glad I stopped and saw it. Beautiful!

Ashley Vaughan

Wow! Incredible preservation of history. So much to learn and see here. A must visit in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Absolutely wonderful.

Richekay

A great opportunity to learn about the history of Wyoming and the state's leaders. A unique piece to this museum is that the bedrooms are furnished in different decades, providing a glimpse into that particular period. The curator was well knowledgable and answered all of my questions with enthusiasm and detail.

Charlene Oliver

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Each room decorated uniquely in different time period

Y Odame

I'm free to the public if you want to give a donation it's optional. It's a self-guided tour bring the bill and wait for somebody to open. The gentleman that work there had excellent manners and very cordial

Follow That Trail

A nice, quiet, informative look into the history of Wyoming. Really pretty fascinating to see the layout. I think my favorite room was the Sun Porch on the 2nd floor.

Wesley Rocha

Very beautiful and full of history. That's awesome!

Tom Godfrey

We just got back from this year’s “Tinsel Through Time”. OUTSTANDING! Have been going through this treasure chest every year, but this year the staff & volunteers have out done themselves. Very classy. By picking “Old West” as a theme the staff has enabled themselves to keep it simple, and not so over the top. They have gathered wonderful artifacts & photos that gives the displays a fresh and more realistic western appeal. PLEASE, make this a must on your holiday adventures. It will become a tradition. Thanks to the incredible staff & volunteers! You make Cheyenne & Wyoming a better place.

It was close 1sth day of January 2019 . Yet we just went on and took some outside pics.

Katarzyna Pobłocka

Beautiful from the outside, can't even imagine what's inside. Next Time!

AJ Medina

A free, must see destination that is part of the WY State Parks, this is a home used by the state governors until 1976, the home has a lot of history, a Cold War era fallout shelter and displays of life within the home from formal to family time, easy to find, open 7 days a week and free, this Georgian style home is worth the trip, time is about an hour to explore 4 floors.

Joyful CB Rothe

Amazing exhibits , very nostalgic

Elizabeth Ludwig

Beautiful house and very friendly staff

Melody Hall

Absolutely lovely! Well displayed, gorgeous decorations, lots of audio history guides and posters of explanations! A must see when in Cheyenne!

Ilona Wessling

You are allowed to tour the mansion on your own. It's fantastic. Very worth your time to check it out. Stay 10 minutes or an hour, go at your pace. Take in the history of all who have lived there. Enjoy.

Barb Avery

It is self guided so you can take your time and look at all the info in the rooms. Only some things are original but the did a great job of filling the home with appropriate furniture and cloths

d kondora

When in Cheyenne during CFD parade you need to also visit the Governor's Mansion - Yvonne was a Great tour guide.

Lionel GIES

One of the top historic building to visit when in Cheyenne. Well preserved high society house from last century. Special mention to the fall-out shelter in the basement! Very friendly staff too.

Margaret Juniker

Live this museum! It's really cool to see what it was like in those days and where the governor lived!

Vladimir Gurevich

Came in there almost at 5pm while passing through Cheyenne. Nevertheless the local museum workers were happy to let us in and even gave us a short tour -- all for free. Really nice and somewhat educational place to visit with a family.

Ty Brown

Well-maintained, fascinating, and free. Different rooms are restored to a variety of time periods. The staff know some fascinating trivia and are very fun to talk to. Great for small groups and history enthusiasts.

Vincent DeGrazio

I've done this tour twice, once during the holidays when it was decorated for Christmas 🎄, and once when it was just set for normal day to day living. It was great both times, really worth the time and the donation. You won't regret it. …

Kim Winkler

thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The 'attendant' ? Ranger? host? was refreshingly helpful. really involved the kids and made it a nice experience

Harvey Johnson

Looking for a picture my dad drew that hang up there

Mark Crawford

Great tour and even better history. A house that size and the cost to build back then is amazing. They did a great job of putting a historical touch to understand the lifestyles throughout history in that home.

Katherine R.

Wonderfully preserved with connections to various eras. Thank you for providing a wonderful opportunity to view the mansion through the ages.

Kodiak Rabbit

Well preserved and a beautiful walk through early to mid 20th century history. Free admittance, but open to donations. I strongly recommend this to anyone interested in Wyoming history and early 1900s American architecture and lifestyle.

This is a must see during the holidays. Thre decorations are breathtaking. The history is well taken care of and the volunteers are amazingly nice.

Curator was very kind and didn't rush us, even though we arrived about a half hour before the posted closing time. Answered all questions, even though the mansion is pretty much a self guided tour.

Patrick Vann

Great place. Beautiful and Historic!! The holidays is a great time to go look!

dave turner

There are many holiday related events this month at the governor's mansion, check out the website for information. Tinsel through time is a wonderful display of Christmas decorating with over 100 years of styles

Da- Digger

This governor's residence is curb appeal perfection. The best part of our visit was learning a little about the wives of past governors. Be sure to stop by when in the area. Just like all the attractions in Cheyenne, parking is right out front on the street.
