Friends of the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden

Our Mission


A non-partisan organization dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and education of this historic home and garden. Located in Bexley, Ohio, the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden represents all corners of Ohio—both in the interior and exterior portions of the property.

The Heritage Garden at the Ohio Governor’s Residence demonstrates Ohio’s natural history in a series of gardens representing Ohio’s five major eco-regions, know as physiographic regions.

“The Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden is a beautiful property that Fran and I have cherished showing to visitors. Since 2019 when we moved in, we have invited guests from across Ohio and the United States to join us at the Residence. The property is a great opportunity for all visitors to learn about Ohio’s history, as well as Ohio’s diverse landscape.”

- Ohio Governor Mike DeWine
