Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park

The building’s history connects the Stanford family, California government and its later use as a children’s home.

Interior access is by guided tour only, with tours normally departing from the visitor center. Official state functions can interrupt the schedule, so call ahead or check current booking information before travelling to 800 N Street. Self-guided interior visits are not offered.
