In addition, Terrace Hill is one of the most accessible governors’ homes in the nation. As the official residence of Iowa’s governors, the third floor of Terrace Hill provides a secure and central place for Iowa’s top executive to live. The first and second floors provide an impressive atmosphere for the governor and state officials to welcome foreign ambassadors, national dignitaries and world leaders.

It is the vision of the Terrace Hill Foundation to enhance the resources and extend the uses of this invaluable treasure by raising private funds on an annual basis until a self-supporting endowment can be established. We seek your help in making this vision a reality.
