This stunning Victorian mansion was originally built in 1856. This architecturally stunning home was the residence of California Governor, Leland Stanford. Featuring 17-foot tall ceilings, light fixtures dating from the 19th Century, artistic relics, paintings, gilded mirrors and original furniture which was the property of the Stanford family, this mansion is a true gem to behold. After a renovation that took 14 years, this former governors residence now serves as a museum and visitor center. Tours are offered throughout the week.
