City of Farmington Michigan Downtown Main Street


Governor Warner Mansion and Museum

One of Farmington, Michigan's most easily recognized landmarks, the Governor Warner Museum, resides within an impressive Victorian Italianate mansion built in 1867 by
P. Dean Warner.

 

Warner and his wife Sarah Botsford Warner, adopted two children.  Their son, Fred, eventually became owner of the home and, in 1905, governor of Michigan.  He was the first Michigan governor to serve three successive terms.

 

Furnished in late Victorian style, the mansion sits on approximately three acres surrounded by gardens.  Visitors will find history on display in the form of period furnishings and artifacts, as well as Warner family memorabilia.  The home was deeded to the City of Farmington in 1980 by Warner family members and is open to the public.

 

The museum grounds are available to rent for special events including weddings.  They are also available for family photos.  Contact the museum for scheduling.

 

Mansion tours March - December
