The Governor lived in New Bern, near the coast, back in 1770, but officials feared that he was too vulnerable near the shores of the Atlantic. The current building is the third governor's home built in Raleigh, and certainly the most ornate. Built in Queen Anne style, this Victorian creation boasts much elaborately turned woodwork. After a tour of the elegant parlors, ballroom and dining room, spend some time wandering through the beautiful gardens surrounding the mansion. Free admission. Guided tours by appointment.
