HARTFORD, Conn. — The Governor's Residence is opening its doors to the public for holiday tours once again.
Gov. Ned Lamont and first lady Annie Lamont are welcoming guests to the historic Hartford home on 990 Prospect Ave. during an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 8 and on Saturday, Dec. 9.
The home will be decorated for the holidays, with trees, wreaths, and seasonal greenery donated from the Connecticut Greenhouse Growers Association, the Nurserymen Association, Jones Family Farms, Kathryn Hunt Studios of West Hartford, and students from Lyman Hall Future Farmers of America.
There will also be live music from performers from VP Vocal Studio and Conard High School's Be S#arp acapella group.
Tickets and payments are not needed to visit the Governor's Residence, but monetary donations are being accepted for Operation ELF.
The Governor's Residence was built in 1909, but it wasn't until 1945 that the governors of Connecticut resided in the home during their time in office. It has been refurbished and renovated numerous times over the past seven decades.
