The Governor Warner Mansion Has Served Farmington Since 1867

Built in 1867, the Governor Warner Mansion became home to Farmington businessman Fred M. Warner, Michigan’s governor from 1905 to 1911. His daughter, Edessa Warner Slocum, was the last family member to live there, and the city accepted the museum and gardens in 1980. Today, Farmington is carrying out a major preservation project intended to protect the historic home while expanding its role as a community gathering place.
