The Mississippi Governor's Mansion is located in Jackson, Mississippi. The Place serves as the official residence of the state's governor. It is considered one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the United States and is well-preserved to this day. The Mansion is situated on 2.4 acres of land, spanning an entire city block bordered by East Amite, East Capitol, North Congress, and North West Streets, just three blocks south of the Mississippi State Capitol. It is recognized as an official National Historic Landmark, and at the time of its designation, it was one of only two state governor's residences to receive this honor. Additionally, a portion of the Mansion's historical grounds has been set aside for non-profit organizations with historical, educational, or other purposes to use for limited public activities.
