Missouri Governor's Mansion Tours

Inside the walls of the Missouri Governor’s Mansion, guests have the opportunity to step back in time and learn about our state’s history. This is one of just a few executive residences in the United States that are open to the public. Free guided tours are given by volunteer docents thanks to the support of the Friends of the Missouri Governor’s Mansion Docent Program. 

Tour reservations are required for all visitors and must be confirmed before your visit to the museum. Reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance of your tour. Once your tour has been confirmed, please read all information carefully to fully understand the mansion guidelines.

Traditional guided tours are provided at the beginning of sprint into the early part of summer. We allow 25 people per group, and tours are provided every 15 minutes. It is recommended that you schedule some additional time in between your tours of the Missouri Capitol and the Governor’s Mansion due to distance between the two sites.

For security purposes, a photo ID and/or additional information may be needed before entering the mansion grounds. 

Reservations must be made online on our reservation website.
