“The Governor’s Residence was graciously donated to the state by Olivia Irvine Dodge and Clotilde Irvine Moles and belongs to the people of Minnesota,” Governor Pawlenty said. “The First Lady and I invite all Minnesotans to visit this marvelous place.”

The mansion has been decorated for the holidays. Visitors not only get the chance to take a tour, they will have the opportunity to enjoy live music and view the beautiful holiday decorations.
