After my last workshop day with the Helena Quilt Guild, we had some free time and when it was suggested that Bobi give us a private behind the scenes tour of the old Governor’s mansion (because she works there!) I jumped at the chance!
Touring old homes and buildings is a favorite thing to do when traveling.
We had passed the mansion while riding the tour train the night before and I couldn’t wait to see what was waiting for us inside!
The Queen Anne home was built in 1888 by Helena entrepreneur William Chessman as a symbol of his wealth and influence throughout the Helena community. The next two owners, the Larsons and the Conrads, continued the pattern of affluent living. In 1913 the State of Montana acquired this handsome brick mansion as the first official governor's residence for nearly half a century.
Between 1913 and 1959, it was home to nine Montana governors and their families.
