Set on 18 acres in northeast Atlanta, the Georgia Governor’s Mansion is a grand display of history, politics, and hospitality. Built in 1967 in the Greek Revival style, this 30-room estate serves as the official residence of Georgia’s governor and houses an exceptional collection of Federal-era furnishings and artwork. Designed by architect A. Thomas Bradbury, its stately columns and expansive grounds make it one of the most striking executive mansions in the country.

The mansion is open for public tours, offering a look inside its lavish rooms, historical artifacts, and elegant antiques. Docents provide insight into the home’s architectural features and the fine arts collection, which was carefully curated during its construction and now belongs to the state as a permanent exhibit. The beautifully landscaped grounds add to the experience, reflecting both Georgia’s rich past and its ongoing legacy.

Among its many stories, one fascinating detail stands out: the mansion’s entire fine furnishings collection was hand-selected by a 70-member fine arts committee before the residence was even built, ensuring every piece was historically significant. Stepping inside is like walking through a living museum of Georgia’s heritage—one where history and governance meet in timeless elegance.
