Ohio Governor's Residence and Heritage Garden

A Personal Welcome from Ohio’s Governor and First Lady

Welcome to the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden! We are delighted you are exploring a unique part of Ohio’s history by touring the splendid Jacobethan Revival house or taking a walk in the gardens that celebrate our state’s diverse landscape. This dwelling has been home to all Governors and their families since it was given to the state in 1955. It has many interesting stories and we are honored to be the current residents, adding another layer to its remarkable history.

We invite you to view the public rooms and grounds by exploring the web site or coming for a visit. We believe you will share our pride in Ohio history, art, architecture, craftspeople and diverse landscape. The captivating artworks, examples of industry, native plants and so much more are all fine examples of what makes Ohio a special place to live.

The residence provides many wonderful opportunities to learn about the Ohio's rich history, geography, and environment.

We are pleased to offer this web site and hope you enjoy your time here.
