Ames Mansion, built in 1910, is one of the main attractions in Borderland State Park. The mansion was the home of Blanche Ames Ames, an inventor who was involved in art, farming, engineering and politics.

Now, the mansion is open to park visitors and has been used in several films, including Ghostbusters, Shutter Island, and Knives Out.
