Daniel Fowle, who stayed from January 5, 1891, until his death on April 7, 1891. Present Governor Beverly Eaves Perdue is the twenty-eighth governor to live in the mansion. She is the sixty-eighth person to hold this office in North Carolina since the end of the American Revolution and the first woman.

"Impressive "
You can take a short walk from the Museum of History to see the Executive Mansion. An impressive mansion built in the Victorian style of architecture, it was constructed largely of handmade bricks and has housed twenty-six families since its completion in 1891. Self-guided tours of the home are permitted on an irregular basis. The Capital Area Visitors Center, located in the North Carolina Museum of History, also conducts guided tours with advance notice. Call for hours or other information.
