Welcoming its first executive in 1842, the Mississippi Governor's
Mansion is the second-oldest continuously occupied governor's
residence in the United States. The Mansion is both a public
building open for tours and the private residence of the governor
and his family. In this unique book, readers are invited to explore
the entirety of the building, from the attic to the garage and
everything in between. The Mississippi Governor's Mansion: Memories
of the People's Home is the first book of its kind dedicated to
images and stories about the Governor's Mansion. The volume reveals
Governor Phil Bryant's profound respect for the office he holds and
his deep appreciation for the National Historic Landmark in which
he resides. Through his personal, often touching reflections,
Governor Bryant pays tribute to former governors, their families,
and the many public servants who have dedicated their lives to
taking care of this beautiful Greek Revival masterpiece. More than
sixty elegant watercolor paintings by noted Mississippi artist Bill
Wilson accompany the governor's stories. Wilson captures the beauty
and majesty of the home, its furnishings, and the restored historic
grounds. The volume also features a personal foreword by First Lady
Deborah Bryant inviting readers into her home, an artist's
statement by Wilson, and a brief historical essay written by
Mansion curator Megan Bankston.
