Arkansas Governor's Mansion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arkansas Governor's Mansion is the official residence of the Governor of Arkansas and his family. The mansion has been occupied by Governor Mike Beebe and First Lady Ginger Beebe since January 3, 2007.
The history of the mansion begins in 1947, when Act 257 of the Arkansas General Assembly established a Governor's Mansion Commission with an appropriation of $100,000.00. Construction on the mansion began in December of 1947 (eventually requiring 300,000 bricks), and the Governor's Residence officially opened on January 10, 1950.
The first Governor to reside here was Sidney S. McMath, who moved in on February 3, 1950.
