The Montana Historical Society invites community members of all ages to attend a festive summer garden party at the Original Governor’s Mansion. Visitors will explore the historic house and grounds at their leisure while enjoying the beautiful tunes of local musicians including the Dearborn String Trio.
This house served Montana’s First Families from 1913 to 1959 and displays impressive Queen Anne-style architecture with furnishings and artifacts from the era. Brochures will be provided so that guests can discover the history of the house through a self-guided tour. Volunteers will be stationed on each floor to answer any questions that may arise.
The Mansion also has a lovely lawn where visitors will enjoy refreshments and admire the historic carriage house. Traditional lawn games such as ring toss and lawn bowling will keep the entire family entertained. Local musicians will be playing timeless music on the porch to complete the experience.
Please note that the Mansion is not ADA compliant. There are stairs to the front porch, with two flights of stairs inside the house
