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.
