Since 1998, the Foundation for Historical Louisiana’s preservation
headquarters has been housed at the Old
Governor’s Mansion. In addition to its headquarters,
the Foundation operates the Mansion as an historic house museum as well as
a venue for special events.
The Foundation for Historical Louisiana is proud to work through a cooperative
endeavor with the State of Louisiana to expose all visitors to preservation
in progress at the Old Governor’s Mansion. Preservation is an ongoing
and constant labor of love.
The Foundation’s mission for the Old Governor’s Mansion is to
preserve maintain, protect, and promote the building, collection, and historical
integrity of the site; to research and interpret, through educational programs,
permanent and changing exhibits, the period from 1930 to 1962, when the building
served as home to Louisiana Governors; and to increase appreciation of Louisiana's
social, political, and governmental history.
