ST. PAUL, MN – The 2016 Summer Season at the Minnesota Governor's Residence will kick-off on Tuesday, June 14, 2016. The Residence will be open for public tours on June 14th and 28th, July 12th and 26th, and August 9th and 23rd from 10:50am to 12:20pm. Tours will begin every 10 minutes. Reservations are welcomed and encouraged for all group sizes. Walk-ins are accepted depending on availability. New this year, the July 12th tour will be an open house style from 5:00pm – 7:00pm. Grounds and gardens are open to the public.

 

During the tours, volunteer docents from the Women's Auxiliary of the Minnesota Historical Society will be on-hand to answer questions in each room on the First Floor and Lower Level of the Residence. The 1006 Summit Avenue Society will also offer a selection of merchandise available for purchase.  Proceeds from the sale will help to support the historic Residence. There is no fee for the tour, but please consider bringing with you a non-perishable food item, as the Governor's Residence is a drop site for Second Harvest Heartland.
