Completed in 1860, the Governor Ross Mansion offers elegance in an intimate setting. Clients will have use of the formal Main Parlor, the Entry Hall with its graceful staircase, and the Dining Room. The home features original and period furnishings in an idyllic setting that harkens to a more elegant age. To maintain the integrity of the space, events inside the mansion are limited to 40 people.
