Trip notes: Built by a businessman in Sacramento in 1857, the home was purchased four years later by Leland Stanford, California's eighth governor and one of the founders of the Central Pacific Railroad. He expanded and remodeled the home. The Stanford family lived here until 1874 when they moved to San Francisco, After moving, they used the house when business, politics or social engagements brought them back to Sacramento. The mansion is located just a few blocks from the State Capitol. The three-story mansion is currently undergoing restoration, but tours are available.
