The West Virginia Governor’s Mansion – fully decorated for the holiday season – is now open to the public for free holiday tours.
Online bookings of guided tours for both the mansion and the West Virginia State Capitol building opened Monday.
One of the featured displays is a life-size gingerbread house created by First Lady Denise Morrisey. Young visitors will enter the house on their way to the front door of the mansion.
“We are so excited to open up the governor’s mansion for tours,” said First Lady Morrisey. “The Christmas season is a special time to share the mansion’s rich history and holiday spirit with families and guests across our great state. I can’t wait to see children’s faces light up when they see our special gingerbread house.”
Inside the mansion are multiple Christmas trees, each decorated with a different theme.
Mansion tours are offered Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and can be combined with a tour of the capitol.
Reservations are required. For more information and to make your reservation, visit the West Virginia Division of Tourism website at Almost Heaven – West Virginia.
