Tours are from 5:30 – 7:30pm.
“Each year leading up to the Christmas Season, the Governor’s Mansion is decorated so beautifully, and I am always so excited to share that with the people of Alabama,” said Governor Ivey. “I invite every Alabamian, both young and old, to come visit the Mansion to view all of the Christmas decorations in one of the Candlelight Tours. It is great to bring your family, friends or neighbors.”
Jerry Thrash of Capitol’s Rosemont Gardens is doing the designs and decorations this year; the Governor’s Mansion is a 1907 Colonial Revival house, located at 1142 South Perry Street in Montgomery, and has served as the official residence for governors of Alabama since 1951.
