Description:
The Leland Stanford Mansion in Sacramento, California, is a beautifully restored historic home that dates back to the mid-19th century. Built in 1856, it was purchased by Leland Stanford—railroad tycoon, California governor, and founder of Stanford University—in 1861. The mansion served as the governor’s residence during his term and became a hub of political and social activity. Over the years, it transitioned from a private home to a center for charitable organizations and eventually underwent extensive restoration. Today, it stands as a California State Historic Park and a venue for official state functions.
