Governor Warner Mansion

Governor Warner Mansion Farmington Historical Museum Built in 1867 by local businessman P.D. Warner, the Mansion was once home to Fredrick Warner, Farmington's only Michigan governor.

Situated in the middle of downtown Farmington's historic district, the Governor Warner Mansion serves as a prominent Farmington landmark, a historical museum, and a great venue for good old-fashioned family fun. During his three terms (1905-1911), Fred occasionally conducted business and entertained officials at his Farmington residence, and the family often hosted parties and political rallies on

the front lawn, earning the Warner family home the nickname the “Governor’s Mansion.”

Today, the Mansion is owned by the City of Farmington and staffed by a dedicated team of volunteers and local history enthusiasts. Stop by, visit the gardens, and relax on the porch to see what life was like at the turn of the 20th century! We've suspended indoor tours because of COVID 19 restrictions, but some outdoor events are planned.
