Georgia Governor's Mansion


This past Monday was one of the best Mondays ever. I spent about half of the work day helping out with an event at the Georgia Governor's Mansion. It was my first time at this historic Georgia residence and I loved it! I had so much fun at the event with the attendees and the other interns and fellows volunteering that it didn't even feel like work. I can't believe I hadn't toured the Mansion before, it's so beautiful!


Fun facts about the Mansion:
It's the official home of Georgia's 82nd Governor
It has three floors and 30 rooms
Greek Revival style
It was built in 1967
It stands on about 18 acres in northeast Atlanta


You can take a tour of the Mansion and see it for yourself! 


We got to get a photo with our sweet First Lady of Georgia!


Just thought I'd share one of the unique experiences I've had because of my job. Can't believe I'm more than halfway through my fellowship.

What's something fun you've gotten to do at work or for a class?

  10. Lol aside from a birthday lunch for all of our birthdays throughout the year, nothing like going on a trip to the governor's mansion. That is so cool! The mansion is beautiful. I had no idea that governor's get to move into a house just like presidents do. Awesome :)
