HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania First Lady Susan Corbett today announced the launch of an online virtual tour of the Governor's Residence in Harrisburg. The tour features the public areas of the home and can be found on the Governor's Residence website.

"The governor and I are fully committed to making the Governor's Residence as open and accessible as possible," Mrs. Corbett said. "The addition of a virtual tour ensures that more Pennsylvanians will have an opportunity to see and learn about this important state treasure."
