About Governor Oglesby Mansion
The Governor Richard Oglesby Mansion, located on the west end of Decatur, Illinois, is a historic house museum open for guided tours. Visitors explore the Italianate mansion designed by renowned Chicago architect William LeBaron Jenney and built starting in 1873 for Governor Richard J. Oglesby, a U.S. Senator, Union General, three-term Illinois governor, and associate of Abraham Lincoln. The house features period details including a coal-fired furnace, running water, gas lighting fixtures, and indoor plumbing—remarkable systems for its era. The mansion hosts rotating exhibits, including quilt displays held on select Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The venue schedules history programs and holiday events throughout the year, including an annual Christmas Tea. A visit suits anyone interested in Civil War history, Victorian architecture, or Decatur's prominent citizens. The mansion also accommodates private events and receptions in its elegant rooms. Admission is charged, with prices published on the venue's website.
